I went to the service for noise on my C300 today. When I get my car back, I found at the end of their service list " CAMPAIGN 2009080005 TRUNK LID ", which was never asked and took 1 hrs 22.. Does any one know about this??
On Invoice,

Some hoods and trunks have alignment issues. See this thread:

What noise were you experiencing prior to your visit?

Just took her in last week for this. It's just a minor adjustment to make sure the lid holds and is even. No charge.

Is this limited to 2008MY or involve later production as well?

My 09 C350 also had the CAMPAIGN TRUNK LID done last week at the dealer.

Hmmmm.....I just went out and did some "gunsighting" and fingertip runs across the gaps. The vertical V-shape gaps inboard of the taillamps are darn near perfect. I did notice a very slight symmetrical underflush condition to the quarter panel at the leading side edges of the top decklid surface, just inboard of the C pillar touchdowns, and a slight overflush at the trailing edge of the top surface just about where my spoiler sits. So slight as not to be a concern, and absolutely no BSRs from the decklid. I will inquire and possibly ask to leave it alone at the next service because in this case, "If it ain't broke...."

I had my oil change done last week and they perform the campaign on my car, free is always good.

i might bring it up with the service advisor to see what exactly does this do, and have him show me if i have an existing problem with a misaligned trunk lid. If its not that bad, then I would suggest not doing it either

They did this to my 2009 during a recent service visit - I had no problems with this before, and I couldn't see that they had done anything and nothing has changed afterwards.

I think they perform this work just so they can bill MBUSA for some service time.

I don't beleive the campaign is about fitment. But more about the position of the stops. I beleive it is setup so that as your trunk seal "wears" / compresses it has less spring to it. Since it has less spring there is a change the trunk lid can contact the bumper / body if slammed hard.

Service campaigns are designed to prevent larger repair bills in the future.
