The recall campaign will be visible on the www.safercar.gov website and may generate questions from customers. All affected VINs are flagged as “Open” in VMI. | |||
| Background | |||
|
Issue |
Daimler AG (“DAG”), the manufacturer of Mercedes-Benz and Freightliner Sprinter vans, has determined that on certain Mercedes-Benz and Freightliner Sprinter vehicles, the high-beam function may no longer be automatically deactivated. Furthermore, it is possible that the function lever used to deactivate the high-beam function may not be operable when the automatic high-beam function is activated (Intelligent Headlight Control) and the camera is malfunctioning at the same time. In this case, in order to deactivate the high-beam function, the light rotary switch must be turned to “manual driving light”, and then the function lever must be actuated. A constant activation of the high-beam function could lead to significant glare to oncoming traffic, thereby increasing the risk of a crash. | ||
| What We’re Doing | An authorized Mercedes-Benz or Freightliner Sprinter dealer will update the software for the signal acquisition and actuation module. | ||
