Mercedes Benz C300, C350 +1 more: Exterior lighting — tail lights

Affects Mercedes Benz C300, C350, C63 · 2008–2011 — about 253K vehicles.

The hazard

Dimming or failure of the tail lights reduces the ability to warn other motorists of the driver's intentions of stopping or turning, increasing the risk of a crash.

What to do

Mercedes will notify owners, and dealers will replace the bulb holders if not previously updated and replace any corroded connectors, free of charge. The recall began on August, 18, 2014. Owners may contact Mercedes at 1-800-367-6372.
