Joe,

I'm looking at picking up a 2011 C63. Could you please tell me if VIN WDDGF7HB4BF648748 is affected? It may well make the difference between the C63 and an IS F.

A data card would be appreciated as well!

Thank you very much!

So - Joe, could you please look that VIN up for me? I would greatly appreciate it.

I'm looking at a 2011 VIN WDDGF7HB0BF542457 and I know some early 2011s are affected. Any chance you could get me the datasheet for the engine number?

Thanks for the help.

I'm guessing mine is most definitely within that range? Or by some miracle it's so old that it missed it? haha
