I just received a call from the dealsership about a recall on the camshaft
recall notice # 2009100001

has anyone else received this call to?

I have an appointment to have this issue fixed next week.

Doesn't the 2002 have the M111 engine? I thought that recall was for the M271 1.8 Liter.

Is it for the m112 v6 engine? I hope it is...=)

I have a 2002 M111 engine, need to know what the deal is... My W203 is off the grid.

We received a call from the dealer as well. Since they never call about any other recalls or TSB's, I thought it was probably pretty important, so I brought the car right in. Got it back 2 days later (my schedule). Seems o.k. I don't notice anything different.

What Motor do you have?

tommy

Had mine done under the recall a month ago (yes, it's an M111).

I had started up a thread at the time, and at the time, no one else had received it.

Driving newer c class loaners makes me appreciate my car. The girly interior is too much for me.

Anyone know what they are doing to the Camshaft?
Sportcoup?

Thanks,

WHAT?

I'm close to 200k on my motor and no issues.

Anyone know what this recall is about?

SeaCoupe

when they gave you the invoice, what procedures did they list? I think they can do the cam without taking off the head, but certainly they take off the timing chain.

If you can, I'd appreciate knowing what work procedures they list.

Post Script - Called up Fletcher Jones, yep they have a recall. However, she didn't mention much about what in particular they are looking at. I'm honestly a bit clueless about whats up.

Made an apt for Monday, and yep I get a loaner car.

Is it only on M111 engines?

SeaCoupe

I don't know, but I'll ask when I go in.

I did find a post where someone mentions that it is the magnet, cover and wiring. I remember getting something like this done some time back. But when I called the SA told me my car needed to be done.

Damn, went through all of my records, finally find the info, and it's just as SPCL K said.

So at least I can confirm that what they posted is correct.

mmaz03

Nice. I'm gonna call the dealership and see if I can get some free parts.

SPCL K

I would love to know how much the dealer charged MB to do the work. The number of hours box was blank, as was the total cost - everything was zero'd out. Oh well, at least I didn't have to pay!

Here we have a member with a chronic case of the leaks! Looks like diarrhoea!

Can somebody try & get hold of a copy of the TSB/recall & scan it in for overseas members. Benz will never do a recall outside the US & a TSB will help some of our non US members get Benz to fix their time bomb if they can show precedent.

So.... I can take my 2002 c230K coupe to the dealer for some free work? In Canada?

SPCL K

I'd sure try to get it done. After all, the car was built in Germany, regardless of where it ended up!

draze

So, how do I do it? Is there any paper I have to bring or they will know everything? What if they refuse, or give me some reason not to do it...

My car has 214000km on it and I'm the third owner, that could turn them off.

Just to make sure, is it for M111?

MOBC200K

just reading through this. I have a 2002 c200k m111 and i wonder if its a recall in ireland, hope so. Didn't think they would recall a 2002 has anyone inquired about this yet?

HeirKranz

guys I had this done last week, it is just the cam sensor and a pigtail to keep the oil from getting to your wiring harness, NOT the camshaft............There is also a campaign to reseal the thermostat housing because it leaks (mine was doing it) 200,500 miles and going strong.

and i posted pics of this when i had to do this myself on my wife's c230 M111 on another thread

SPCL K

if by m111 u mean the stock motor that came with the '02 C-230K coupe, then yes, they called me and covered mine. See my earlier posting for the list of what they changed.

Hope this helps,

govertime

HeirKranz or anybody else who had this addressed...Can you post the recall/campaign number for the THERMOSTAT HOUSING LEAK? I called my SA and she said nothing it exists. My thermostat housing is leaking, giving low coolant errors and thermostat regulating temp CELs.

I'm sick of forking up the $ and time to make these repairs myself and then later have recalls surface (as did with the camshaft solenoid/pigtail catastrophe).

tommy

Um, SPCL K posted it.
