C class coupe trunk/boot recall
Hi all,
Does anyone know about a C class coupe recall for some faulty boot/trunk mechanism?
Just spoke to my dealer about something and he told me there's a recall so i've booked into get it repaired/replaced.

The recall work was done on mine when I went in for some checks on squeaks/creaks. Something about pendulum support recall that can affect bootlid alignment. It sounded very minor and certainly not critical. The service guy said that they were not typically following up with customers to book in just for the recall work and would do the work if car was in for other work.

Yep had mine done. The boot mechanism detached from the body 2 days after i bought it. It still closed but with (obviously) unhealthy sounds. (and would sometimes reject closing all together). Because it was all out of alignment, it bent and snapped the plastic cover off when trying to close. They fixed it and replaced the plastic cover also. But at its first service, MB replaced some parts under a service bulletin. It's smooth now. Before it was somewhat jittery to close. Although not critical as pointed out, i'd hate for it happen where it doesn't close for some folks in the mall car park. Get it fixed.
