Brake recall question...
I have just had the "install a bracket and replace the ground wire, and if required, replace the hydraulic pump and suction hose" recall.....
However, when the car was returned I am sure that the front bumber does not quite line up with the bonnet any longer.
Is this bumper removed for this recall?
Thought I'd ask before speaking with MB!
Thanks in advance.

Check your paperwork to see if they changed the pump. Even if they did, I can't imaging they'd have to touch the bumper. They would probably have to bleed the brakes which would require lifting the car but still would have nothing to do with the bumper.

By flipping a lever found on one of the hood hinges (left I believe), the hood is able to open much higher than a traditional hood / bonnet... Perhaps when they opened it up to this postion they bent something???
