Smile MB Canada Service Campaign

MB Canada started this January 2003-2005 C class safety recall to replace combustion chamber vent hoses (PCV??).
Replacement is no charge, estimated up to 4 hours.
Looks like a similar campaign in USA last year?
Check if your vehicle qualifies - I think it applies to M271.

Good luck

Hey Duncan is that limited to the C Class only with that motor or across the model line? Any thoughts?

Well I got a letter from MB Canada about a week ago saying the ABC (Active body control) needs to be recalled. Obviously I knew my car no ABC so I wasn't too worried, but I did get an apology letter a few days later saying the ABC recall dosen't effect me but it mentioned the vent hoses, so I made an APPT and it is done

I got the same two letters... and have scheduled an appointment to have the recall done. The letter says its for "certain Model Year 2003 to 2005 C-Class vehicles".

This is the same recall that was done in the US last March and the part number being used for the replacement hose kit hasn't changed. M271 engines only; three hoses are replaced.
