Another method of intervention......

might be to contact the government over your concern as to the timing of the recall. Also restate the safety issue involved and your concern as to your well being. It could be like chug holes/dangerous highway defects. After a defect is logged by the responsible govt. entity on a road, any later damage to an auto can be subject to payment from the government. If this is correct (I am not a lawyer) then the fed. govt. plus Mercedes could be held liable for your injury from the defective tail light situation that caused your injury. Here again, it is money that talks. "Golly gee, we have XXXXX cases of SLK owners getting in on a joint lawsuit. We better fix those darn tail lights".
