What happened

Mercedes-Benz USA is recalling certain 2017 E300 4Matic, E300, E43 AMG, and E400 vehicles because the headlight horizontal adjustment screws may not be properly sealed behind a non-removable sealing cap. This lack of sealing means the headlights could be readjusted, causing them to become misaimed. Misaimed headlights may not sufficiently illuminate the roadway, which could increase the risk of a crash.

To remedy this issue, MBUSA will notify owners, and authorized dealers will retrofit the sealing caps for the headlights at no charge, with the recall expected to begin in June 2018. Owners of affected vehicles should contact MBUSA customer service at 1-800-367-6372 and reference recall number 2018050012 to arrange service.
