you have M272 engine #416570, which is in the range for potential balance shaft failure.

If my vehicle is in the range for potential balance shaft failure and I currently have a Power Train Warranty will that cover to have it replaced?

Rudeney

It depends on what your warranty covers, but it is an internal engine part. I feel certain that it will have to fail before they would pay to replace it. Just being "in the range" does not mean it "will" fail.

Good day All,,

Can someone check this VIN# WDDHF5EB0DA730456
I've checked and shows 272952 32 078734, and it should be below 30 468993

if I consider the 32 then NOT in the range, without considering 32 then IN range.

Any clarification? Thanks in Advance

That's a MY2013 - no worries there! balance shaft problems ended halfway through MY2007. Yes, the "32" makes yours well beyond the range. I typically just post the last 6 digits of the engine serial number, but really, it's 8 digits.

can someone tell me if this model is affected? I'm looking to purchase this car for my wife today.

VIN : WDBRF52H07F909500

Engine part # : 272920 30 561707


I am thinking that "561707" is out of the range but can someone confirm?


Regards,
Pete

hello all
I have a 2006 E350 with VIN WDBUF87J16X200235
is it within the affected range? I am getting a P0016 code intermittently, on or off for hours on either state. Usually off when car starts at least until engine fully hot. Observing the cams at 305 degrees of crank I see left cams centered, right intake centered, right exhaust off a bit. Any info or ideas appreciated
thank you

Rudeney

That one has M272 #427633 which is in the range for potential balance shaft failure.

Rudeney

All MY2006 M272 engines are "in the range" for potential failure, and P0016 is a tell-tale symptom.

For those with impacted M272/273's, there was a settlement in the Northern California case.

Go here: https://eclaim.kccllc.net/caclaimforms/mse/home.aspx

then click on Claim Form Generation.

I wonder if a new thread has been made about this, or if a new thread should be placed in the car sections where this engine could be an issue?

Hi- Just bought a 2008 E350 Wagon, 70,000 miles. Vin is WDBUH87XX7X220824 I'd like to know if my car is affected. It doesn't seem like it had a balance shaft repair and I have an opp to get an extended warranty.

Thanks!!
