| PE05051 | MERCEDES-BENZ USA, LLC. | 09/22/2005 | 12/02/2005 | BRAKE LAMP FAILURE | 05V505000 | |
| In its letter dated october 28, 2005, mercedes-benz usa stated that it would conduct a safety recall to remedy defective brake lamp assemblies in model year 1998 through 2004 mercedes benz slk vehicles.the base of the brake lamp socket can be subject to thermal deformation over time.this deformation can cause movement in the socket-to-bulb connection, which may lead to a loosening of the electrical contacts in the socket, and failure of the bulb to illuminate.all rear lamp modules (which contain brake, turn signal, tail and backup lamps) will be replaced with redesigned rear lamp modules with a more heat resistant material and enhanced socket holder design to withstand the heat inside the rear lamp module.see nhtsa recall no. 05v505 for more information. | ||||||

| The new high-intensity headlights, that are bluish in color, are extraordinarily blinding. this headlight, obviously, should have never been approved, and never used. perhaps it is an improvement to the drivers that use the bluish headlights, but it is a safety hazard to oncoming automobiles. they need to be banned before (more) lives are lost. with the nhtsa being so safety conscious, i cannot fathom why these headlights were ever approved, and even now that we know how blinding they are, why they have not been banned. you really need to resolve this problem. thank you. *la | |||
