Summary

Mercedes-Benz USA is recalling 136 vehicles, including certain 2024 AMG GLA 35 4MATIC, GLA 250 4MATIC, and GLA 250 models. The front headlights in these vehicles may be missing required aiming markings, which can lead to the headlights being pointed in the wrong direction. This defect causes the vehicles to fail federal safety standards and can significantly reduce visibility or blind other drivers. Dealers will inspect and replace the headlight assemblies free of charge.
