Description of the problem	Ea13-008: during mid-summer the dash warning message stating "check center brake light" began to appear intermittently. Sometimes it would remain on;other times it would not. Over time, it happened with less frequency, then would be more frequent a week or two later. At some point in time i saw an item about a potential recall for mercedes related to wiring in the trunk (which is where this light is located). I stopped by the mercedes dealer and inquired about this. I am unsure of the date, but think it was in august 2013. I have entered a date in that time-frame and corresponding mileage on the car. (but both could be different.) the dealer's service advisor stated that he had seen nothing on this topic. He checked the car and, of course, at that time the message was not displaying on the dash and the center brake light was working when the brakes were applied. Over the intervening months, the message displayed sometimes and not others. Whenever it displayed and we were able to do so safely, we would check the brake light itself. Whenever the message displayed the light was not functioning. In december 2013, the frequency of the message appearing (and light not operating) increased. On december 30, 2013, i had an appointment with the mercedes dealer and again reported the problem. Of course, again, the message was not displaying and the center brake light was working. Later that same date, the dealer reported that they had fully tested the light and the wiring and it was working okay. However, another issue we had raised with them needed additional time to resolve. So, we left the car with them for a few days (new year's week). When the dealer phoned (on 1/3/14) to report the car was ready to pick up we were told that when the car was test driven the message had displayed and the light did not work. Ever since, this is now a continuing problem.

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
