VIN Check for Balance Shaft Failure on a 2007 CLK 550 Cabriolet??
Hi:

Ive been lurking around a bit and thought I would turn to the experts to help out. I am looking at a 2007 CLK550 V8 and want to make sure it is not in the range for potential Balance Shaft Failure (it sounds like that is a rare occurrence, but wanted to double check). I think it is outside of the range, based on the VIN but I'd like your help. The VIN # is WDBTK72FX7F222455. Any guidance on this or other things to check would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you for the assistance on this question!

M273 engine #119528 - it's beyond the problem range.

You need to read more on the forums about this. You car has an M113 engine which is not affected. Only the M272/M73 engines are possibly affected by this failure.
