People can check themselves. Maybe you should edit the first post?

Hi Joe,

Could you please check mine (2010 Australian model) and grab a copy of the datacard? Thanks!

Many thanks for checking Joe. I had a feeling it wasn't but great to have confirmation.

Cannot see the datacard attached anywhere though. Would you mind attaching it again please?

A car with a build date of 12/10 won't be affected as it was built 5+ months after the switchover.

I just reviewed past threads and the TSB data indicates the issue affects all M156 engines, up to serial number 569xx 60 060658

So a 2010 e63 will most definitely be within the range as well?

Again, the issue relates to the engine, not car model. So yes, an E63 can be affected as well.

Damn it, now I'm starting to sh*t a brick. So this isn't covered by Merecedes under warranty or goodwill?

If under warranty, it's covered. If not, good will is sporadic at best.

Ugh, hopefully the previous owner replaced it, I guess I'll call the dealer tomorrow to see if they have any records of the car's service. If not I'll try to flip the coin on goodwill
