What happened

Mercedes-Benz USA is recalling certain 2012-2015 CLS-class vehicles, including the CLS 400, CLS 400 4matic, CLS 550, CLS 550 4matic, CLS 63, and CLS 63P models. These vehicles have LED tail lights that may fail to illuminate on the sides, which reduces how visible the rear of the vehicle is to other drivers and increases the risk of a crash.

If you own an affected vehicle, MBUSA will notify you about this recall. The remedy is a free software update to the lighting controller that dealers will perform. The recall began on April 6, 2015. To learn whether your vehicle is affected or to schedule service, you should contact MBUSA customer service at 1-800-367-6372 and reference recall number 2015030005.
