Recall 02V152000: Headlamp Aiming Instructions Update



DEFECT: Certain passenger vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 108, Lamps, Reflective Devices, and Associated Equipment. The owner's manual does not contain the proper headlamp aiming instructions.


REMEDY: Owners will be provided with headlamp aiming instructions, and directions for affixing these inserts to the operator's manual. The manufacturer has reported that owner notification was expected to begin during July 2002. Owners who do not receive the free instructions within a reasonable time should contact Mercedes-Benz at 1-201-573-0117.
