What is wrong
Mercedes-Benz USA, LLC (MBUSA) is recalling certain 2020 AMG GT vehicles. The headlights may have been incorrectly aimed too high. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 108, "Lamp, Reflective Devices and Associated Equipment."
What can happen
Incorrectly aimed headlights can reduce the visibility of oncoming traffic, increasing the risk of a crash.
The remedy
MBUSA will notify owners, and dealers will check the headlight aim, and correct it, if necessary, free of charge. The recall began January 20, 2021. Owners may contact MBUSA customer service at 1-800-367-6372. MBUSA's number for this recall is 2020120016.
