is this still an issue with a 2014 model? (the website only mentioned 2010-2012)
Its my understanding that the brake pads leave a lip on the edge of the rotors so you basically can't just change the brake pads, you have to change the rotors as well.

Yes, false.
I will say that the lipping issue is more prevalent on the front brakes of the W204 than some other cars mainly becaues I don't see cross drilled rotors on the front of many mainstream passenger cars in that price range. Because they are cross drilled you can't resurface them, so that is a bit of a $ drag.
