2 recalls My '04 E 500 (USA)

Finally got frustrated with my Easy Exit feature. Whenever it was looking for my driving position, it would only look for it in a forward moving direction. If My wife had last driven the car & the seat was already forward of my regular driving position, the seat would move forward anyway, instead of rearward, crushing me against the wheel... (replaced memory seat module N/C warr)

BUT, they also performed
Recall 2004050014 211\230 SBC Recoding
"Reprogrammed SBC Module as per Recall."

...they also performed
Check Central Gateway PSC # 2004070019 ... Flash Central Gateway, "Reflashed Central Gateway"


What is the central gateway, what does it control?

S, GL, Escalade ESV, my shoes
Same here, my Central Gateway unit was replaced, due to malfunction.

Just received notice today for SBC recall.

If the goal of Mercedes is to build junk instead of tank (in term of reliability), I think they have succeed that goal.

4 wheels
They basically update how the head unit (radio, CD, Satellite, Comand, and all that crap works). Fixing some major issues that I cant remember off the top of my head. Also the SBC system's software has been updated regarding the SBC pump primarily.

Now I am unable to adjust the steering wheel up or down with the stalk or automatically (in & out works fine) when I start the car using keyless go, but all works as it should when I start with the key in the ignition!
