Looking for an R129
Car wouldn't start the other day. Replaced both batteries as they were old enough I didn't want my wife to have an issue. So a few days later, this was message displayed on the panel and car engine wouldn't turn over, once again. Strange thing is car had only been driven once or twice briefly, and had sat for maybe three or four days. Seems unlikely the battery had been drained so quickly. Anyway, an hour or so on the charger and it fired right up (but that was several days afterward. Read the SBC has been extended out to 25-years, no clue if this is related. Flushed the brakes about two years ago when COVID began, car hasn't accumulated more than a 1000 miles in the last two years - wife retired and we mostly take my G-wagon if we go out (but it probably hasn't accumulated 1000 miles, either, in the last two years). Anyway, I snapped a photo of the warning on the dash of her car the other day. It hasn't reappeared, but should I be concerned? Called the dealer and the service writer denied there was a recall for the SBC. Did mention something about the sunroof (fuel tank was done about 3 or 4 years ago when that recall was issued). Thoughts?

Wish I'd known about this before I sold my '03 for this very reason. This forum is a bottomless wealth of info. Won't make the same error 2x. Thanks
