Mercedes-Benz USA, LLC "MBUSA" is recalling certain 2016-2017 GLC300, GLC300 4MATIC and GLC43 4MATIC vehicles.

As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard "FMVSS" number 108, "Lamps, Reflective Devices, and Associated Equipment."
An insufficiently illuminated roadway may increase the risk of a crash.
MBUSA will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the headlamp adjustment, adjusting it as necessary, free of charge. The recall began on January 12, 2018. Owners may contact MBUSA customer service at 1-877-496-3691.
