The only car with a M156 motor to be affected is the CL63. It also only applies to 2011-2012 vehicles.

I posted a question to the PL
I will let you know when I hear back from the CE....

Would it be fair to say that this recall does not include the 2012 C63 AMG? How do I find out the month my vehicle was manufactured? I would like to be proactive vs. reactive and take care of my baby. Especially since I live in a high temp climate...
Thank you,
Kimberly

Here is some corrected info:
I just got off the phone with Mercedes the recall was only on 43 vehicles it was for the ignition coils I gave them the VIN number and they stated that their parts manager was mistaken and your car is not part of the recall, but they will do further investigation and make sure that it was not 1 of the 43 vehicles. I'll keep you posted on their report.
