It's a service campaign bulletin for the harness that plugs in between the magnet and the plug on the engine harness (they're like $15 a piece total 4 of them). It's a sort of adapter.

EDIT: Not sure if considered an actual recall, but I thought it was as well.

The dealership in Edmonton said it was a recall, didn't sound like I would have to pay for it. I am not having any problems now. So all is good.The CEL has not come on since the first and only time it did.

Ah, you are in Canada, so that may make a difference regarding a recall. MBUSA almost never issues a recall unless our government agencies require it.

I dont see the point of getting it done unless I am having more error codes poping up, or oil leakage problems.
For now I am just going to enjoy it and save up for front struts.

If it is a recall in Canada, then I would just get it done since it's nothing out of pocket (just your time).
