SERVICE: GROUP 00 OF SERVICE INFORMATION BINDER



PARTS: GROUP I OF INFORMATION - PARTS & ACCESSORIES BINDER



Campaign No. 2010110008, January 2011



TO: ALL MERCEDES-BENZ CENTERS



SUBJECT: Model 463, Model Years 2002 - 2010



Remove Headlamp Grill, Replace Front Turn Signal Lenses



Daimler AG (DAG) has determined that certain model year 2002-2010 G-Class vehicles equipped with and dealer installed (accessory) headlamp



and front fender turn signal grills fail to conform to the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) No. 108 S7.8.5, Lamps,



Reflective Devices, and Associated Equipment." Mercedes-Benz USA, LLC (MBUSA) therefore has initiated a recall of these vehicles. (Rear tail



lamp grills are not affected by this recall).



The headlamps of the affected vehicles are equipped with a protective grill for protection of the headlamps during off-highway operation. FMVSS



108 S7.8.5 specifies that a grill shall not be installed in front of the lamp. The affected vehicles with the protective grills installed fail to meet all



luminosity requirements of FMVSS 108 thereby increasing the risk of a crash. The affected vehicles may also be equipped with an allowable grill



cover for front turn signal protection which also affects compliance with FMVSS 108 by reducing the turn signals' light visibility to other motorists.



Attached is a sample copy of a letter which owners of the affected vehicles will receive.
