2011 Mercedes benz C300 Exterior Lighting Problems, Complaints and Defects

Issue ID	1292820
Internal NHTSA #	10876120
Manufacurer	Mercedes-Benz USA, LLC.
Brand	MERCEDES BENZ
Model	C300
Model Year	2011
File date	23/06/16
Component	EXTERIOR LIGHTING
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	Vehicle was stationary. 1 of the 2 parking light bulbs in the front left headlamp assembly burnt out. When taken to dealer to replace the bulb, the service technician found that the bulb's harness had overheated and melted into the headlamp, requiring replacement of the entire headlamp assembly. The melted harness indicates that there was too much heat and could pose a fire threat in the headlamp, as well as reduce conspicuity due to dimmed or burnt out exterior lighting. This is very similar to the problem with the rear taillight issue in this year/model that resulted in a safety recall (nhtsa campaign number: 14v177000 tail lamp dimming or failure). The front exterior lights should also be recalled and replaced by mb for the same reasons as the rear.
