Component:
Exterior lighting:turn signal
Manufactured:
08/31/2002 - 07/29/2010
Affected:
3,552
Defect:
Mercedes-benz is recalling certain model year 2002-2010 g-class vehicles for failing to comply with the requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 108, "'lamps, reflective devices, and associated equipment." these vehicles are equipped with a grill cover for front turn signal protection that, while permissible, may impact over time the signal's ability to meet the minimum requirements of fmvss 108.
Consequence:
The signal light's visibility to other motorists may be reduced over time, increasing the risk of a crash.
Correction:
Dealers will install improved turn light units optimized for usage with grills. this service will be performed free of charge. the safety recall is expected to begin at the end of december 2010 or early january 2011. owners may contact mercedes-benz at 1-800-367-6372.
