Mercedes-Benz C Class: Lights and Instruments
Affects Mercedes-Benz C Class · 2012 — about 32 vehicles.
The hazard
Certain C63 AMG coupe vehicles fail to conform to Canada Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 108 – Lighting System and Retroreflective Devices. These vehicles were inadvertently programmed with incorrect calibration software during vehicle assembly. As a result, the Daytime Running Lamp (DRL) system was not activated. A lack of DRL illumination could render the vehicle less visible to other motorists and to pedestrians during daylight hours, possibly resulting in a crash causing property damage and/or personal injury. Correction: Dealers will reprogram the Body Control Module.
