Thank you for posting this information. Funny - I had the same problem in July within weeks of purchasing the car. The service advisor before looking at the car was saying it was a rattle in the dash! They fixed it for the time being but I will show this to the service advisor when I take the car in for service.

 

Hi,
Do you know if this is the case with an 04' E320 4Matic Wagon as well? Is there a mielage limitaiton to the recall (mine has 51k)?
I took my car in for this problem and they did not mention nor offer this bulletin repair.
Same exact symptoms, primarily on speed bumps and when rebounding (on mine it appears to be on the drivers side only).
Thanks a bunch!

 

DTB are NOT recalls, which are only for safety and emissions.

DTB are performed free while car is under warranty ... afterwards you pay.

 

Q: Would they also replace them if the car is out of warranty?

 

If you pay them.

Your car must not have the problem or someone would have complained to a dealer by now.

DTB are for customer complaints--no complaint/nothing needed.

 

Thank You,
