Mercedes-Benz Cars Australia has recalled a trio of 2016 C-Class sedans, over concerns about a problem with the headlamps.
Mercedes says the headlamps on affected cars may not project over the correct area because of a software problem.
If the headlamps don’t cover the correct area, there’s a risk oncoming drivers will be dazzled, creating a chance of an accident.
- A total of three cars are included in the recall
- A VIN list for affected vehicles is attached here
- The original recall notice is attached here
Mercedes-Benz will contact owners and advise them to organise a free fix with their nearest dealer.
