Received message to check left tail light, brake light, back up light and turn signal. I purchased new bulbs to replace. When I pulled out the bulb carrier, I noticed that the area near the wiring had melted and there was discoloration. I can't even remove the plug housing from the carrier because of the damage. I noticed that there was a recall in older models for the same exact issue.

The contact owns a 2012 Mercedes Benz C250. While driving, the turn signal was activated when a warning indicator light slightly illuminated on the instrument panel. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer for inspection, where the contact was advised that the dimness of the turn signal was common for the model year vehicle. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the problem. The failure mileage was 320. Updated 07/25/12 the consumer stated the problem was with the turn signal control light. It was hardly visible in the day light and in the sun. The service dept stated the new model has a new electronic dash which comes in one new circuit panel. Updated 07/25/12
