Mercedes-Benz Recalls Vehicles That Need New Headlights
About 1,700 A-Class, C-Class, GLB-Class and GLE-Class vehicles may need LED headlights.

— Mercedes-Benz LED headlight problems have caused a recall of nearly 1,700 of these vehicles equipped with LED headlights that may not be correctly adjusted.

  • 2018-2020 Mercedes-Benz C300
  • 2019-2020 Mercedes-Benz A220
  • 2019-2020 Mercedes-Benz AMG C43
  • 2019-2020 Mercedes-Benz AMG C63
  • 2020 Mercedes-Benz GLE580
  • 2020 Mercedes-Benz GLB250
  • 2020-2021 Mercedes-Benz GLE450
  • 2020-2021 Mercedes-Benz GLE350
  • 2021 Mercedes-Benz AMG GLE63
  • 2021 Mercedes-Benz AMG GLE53

The LED headlights may have been incorrectly adjusted during previous repairs, and the problem is bad enough that Mercedes dealerships will need to replace the headlights.

The supplier made a mistake with the data label applied to the LED headlights and vehicle owners won't know the headlights were incorrectly adjusted.

According to the automaker, "the light intensity of the high beam, low beam, and the model specific turn signal indicator" may not meet federal standards.

Nearly 1,500 Mercedes vehicles are recalled in the U.S., and 200 vehicles are recalled in Canada.

Mercedes expects to mail LED headlight recall notices August 31, 2021, but owners with questions may call 800-367-6372.
