Make sure to call your dealer and ask them to check VMI to see if your vehicle is included. Have your VIN handy when you call.

2006 Mercedes E350 - 4MATIC
Just recieved my phone call for the recall(s)
It is actually good timing since my car is just coming out of the body shop. While the dealer has my car I'm going to try and get an R500 as a loaner and convince my wife to dump her Lexus LX470.

Campaign 2007010007 JAN07 Model 211, 219 2007 Replace adaptive brake (ABR) control module The sealing gasket may not be to tolerance. As a result some of the convenience features of the ABR braking system may not function. Dealers will replace the adaptive brake control module as a precautionary measure. Approximately 13 vehicles are affected.

In addition:
P-B-43.10/03 JAN07 211.022 (07 BLUETEC) up to VIN A996000 Popping noise when brake pedal is quickly depressed. The brake booster will be replaced with revised part # A005 430 80 30 28. ABR has a high brake boost level which is achieved by a high vacuum level and the large cross section of the control valve in the brake booster. As a result of this, combined with component tolerances, an adrupt pop noise ma be produced when the brake pedal is quickly depressed. The noise does not impair the braking power and is only an accompanying acoustic effect.

I just had this done at the dealer, they replaced 2 bolts and washers as my SA described to me. I have a feeling my SA doesn't know what this recall does and neither do I.
Anybody can chime in on what these 2 bolts are suppose to fix?

As I understand it the new bolts & washers are designed / installed to eliminate dirt and rust from collecting in the rear sleeves on the front axle carrier. I would suggest talking to your dealers shop foreman or the tech who worked on your vehicle for further explanation.
