Recall 2012213

The issue

Certain C63 AMG coupe vehicles fail to conform to Canada Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 108 – Lighting System and Retroreflective Devices. These vehicles were inadvertently programmed with incorrect calibration software during vehicle assembly. As a result, the Daytime Running Lamp (DRL) system was not activated. A lack of DRL illumination could render the vehicle less visible to other motorists and to pedestrians during daylight hours, possibly resulting in a crash causing property damage and/or personal injury. Correction: Dealers will reprogram the Body Control Module.

Description (français)

Certains coupés C63 AMG ne satisfont pas à la NSVAC 108 – Système d'éclairage et dispositifs rétroréfléchissants. Ces véhicules ont été munis du mauvais logiciel d'étalonnage lors de leur montage. En conséquence, les feux de jour n'ont pas été actionnés. Le non fonctionnement des feux de jour pourrait rendre le véhicule moins visible pour les autres automobilistes et pour les piétons pendant le jour, ce qui pourrait causer un accident endommageant des biens matériels ou blessant quelqu'un. Correction : Les concessionnaires devront reprogrammer le module confort-commodité.
