CARS.COM
Vehicles Affected: Approximately 2,200 model-year 2016 Smart ForTwo microcars
The Problem: The horizontal headlight adjustment mechanism may not have been properly sealed off to prevent future adjustment. This could allow the headlight to be adjusted outside of design specifications, reducing the driver’s visibility and potentially blinding oncoming drivers, which increases the risk of a crash.
The Fix: Dealers will install the correct sealing caps to prevent the headlights from being adjusted horizontally for free.
What Owners Should Do: Smart manufacturer Mercedes-Benz did not immediately provide an owner notification schedule. Owners can call the automaker at 800-367-6372, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration’s vehicle-safety hotline at 888-327-4236 or visit www.safercar.gov to check their vehicle identification number and learn more.
