sorry, I don't have the recall data for idler pulley. Other members will chime in...

What is a "weight loss program" in your mods list?
Removing all the non-essential parts/junk from the car and trunk?

Not a recall but if you go to the dealer and tell them you have a squeeky pulley and there is a campaign on it they will change it out for you. I had this done on mine.

You guys are right. In my ALLDATAdiy subscription it is listed as campaign number 2008070002 to replace the guide pulley.

I thought recalls were mandatory replacement? (as in free parts and labor)

Campaigns are "known" issues but up to the owner of the vehicle to pay up?

That's what I was told by a MBZ dealership in downtown LA.

My understanding of recall is to "check" the condition of the part and replace if defective; unless the recall specifically states to replace the part without even checking.

I thought the same about recall but for campaigns that there are issues but not life threatening or dangerous and if the problem occurs they'll change it for free if in warranty period??
