This campaign has been initiated because MBAG has determined that if the headlamp washer system is activated with the headlamp wiper arm misaligned (i.e. headlamp wiper arm does not return to a horizontal park position) or lodged in the groove below the headlamp unit, the headlamp washer pump will run continuously expelling all available headlamp washer fluid and possibly leading to a vehicle fire.
WARNING! Headlamp washer pump operation without the presence of washer fluid can cause the headlamp washer pump to overheat and cause a vehicle fire.
A modified headlamp washer pump has been designed.

Your wiper's position detection either needs adjusting or has failed. With the wiper in an incorrect position the fluid pump will continue expelling water no matter what age you car is. This article talks of a safety hazard which due to the age of your car isn't a problem for you, but the mechanism is the same.
