Is there a way to know whether our car needs it without asking the dealer?

Bulletin does not go into detail other than: “Engine Control Module Software may not meet current specifications in the subject vehicles.”

Only way to confirm if your vehicle is included is to check with any MB dealer – have VIN handy, they will pull up VMI (vehicle master inquiry) listing any/all outstanding Service Campaigns and Recalls.
