2019 MERCEDES-BENZ SPRINTERTransport Canada Recall #2019189
The official notice
Defect
A software problem could make it impossible to turn off the high-beam headlights using the switch lever. This problem only affects certain vans with the high-beam assist option. Note: If this happens, the high-beams can be turned off by turning the headlight switch from the "automatic headlights" position to the "manual headlights" position, or by re-starting the van.
Safety Risk
High-beam lights that stay on could cause glare and reduce visibility for oncoming traffic. This could increase the risk of a crash.
Remedy
Mercedes-Benz will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your van to a dealer to update the body controller software.
