- the contact received a recall letter campaign # 05v505000 on 01/09/07 for the exterior lights on his 1999 mercedes Slk. The dealership, r & h mercedes owens mill, maryland told the contact that they would not perform the recal repair because the brake light was presently working.
This is in regards to recall number 05v505 for the driver side rear brake light. This recall occurred in 2006 and the light was fixed. However, it has failed again and has the exact same problem, the socked has gotten hot and melted/deformed the plastic socket. I don't know if the bulb was replaced only but to me it appears nothing has been done to repair this issue on this car.
