Defect:
Mercedes-benz usa, llc (mbusa) is recalling certain model year 2015 c300 and c400 vehicles manufactured from june 18, 2014, through september 5, 2014, that fail to comply with the requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard number 108, "lamps, reflective devices, and associated equipment." the affected vehicles were assembled with horizontal adjustment mechanisms that allow the owner to change the horizontal adjustment used during the manufacturing process, instead of the proper sealing caps.
