dealer said 100,000 mile warranty for SBC brake noise vibration

I just took my 2005 e320 to the dealer and they fixed a few DTB related issues.

However, they said the SBC vibration noise was normal and now offers up to 100,000 miles on the SBC brake components.

what u guys think ? I showed them the DTB on the SBC fix but they said they are now offering the 100,000 mile warranty instead (just on the sbc components).

IF your car is still under warranty, they will perform the DTB for free. Otherwise you pay for it.

If this is actually the case, the dealership should have produced a copy of their coverage claim to supplement your manual.

It is my understanding that MBUSA extended the SBC warranty (hydraulic unit/pump only) beyond the original warranty (4 years/50000 miles whichever comes first) to 10 years with no mileage limitation. Check your email for a copy of the letter sent to original owners.

Furthermore, the brake noise was normal until June 04 when MBUSA initially released the DTB and the modified suction hose replaced the original installed during production reducing the annoying noise during pressure buildup.
