Cam solenoid recall for C300?

Found this recall where the MB dealers replace the cam solenoids under a recall campaign under this number:

B21: MERCEDES DRIVEABILITY 2012070002 cam solenoid

Anyway get this done for free during a regular service?

Are these covered even with expired warranties?

There is no recall on the exterior light switch. The car was scheduled for warranty work on the exterior light switch when the service advisor mentioned about the CAM Soleniod recall campaign. She said that letters will be sent out the coming week.

Not so sure as my car was in for warranty work at 49,825 miles. Best to check with your service advisor.
