I'm away from my computer until tomorrow. If the vehicles are 2010 or older, they are affected. If 2011, you'll have to wait for me. If 2012 or higher, you're good.

LOL. Find a later 2011 or newer, or get a warranty, or roll the dice.

just bought this one... it came with a power train warranty.

what is the solution for the affected vehicles? wait for the car to breakdown and have a warranty ready for the issue or has Mercedes addressed this problem ?

Since we've believed that all 2010 and older, and some 2011s were in the affected range, I'm confused about how this one could be outside the range. I did a search to find out which digit in the VIN corresponds to the model year, but had no luck getting a clear answer.

Anyone have any thoughts on all of this

Thanks;

Joe
Hello Joe. please provide data card for WDDGF7HB0CA661088, I am pretty confident the engine should not be in the affected range, but I'd like to compare delivery date on vehicle with what the data card shows.

thanks so much
