W211 e63 headbolt failure question!!
So apparently there’s an issue with the e63s with early model m156 engines. My car is at 125k miles already and I’ve never replaced the headbolts with the new ones. Is it safe to say my headbolts aren’t defective? Should I get my headbolts done? I feel like that head bolt issue was blown way out of proportion. Am I safe from this???

Have engine oil analyzed at each oil change: https://www.blackstone-labs.com/ if there is any trace of coolant and engine # is within affected range approach MB for goodwill repair citing attached bulletin LI01.30-P-051567.

so if my engine # is in that range do I get some sort of discount from Mercedes?

One can argue so if cylinder head bolt is broken.
