2010 ML350 P0016/P0017/P0018/P0019

My mom's 2010 ML350 threw a check engine. I thought it was just the camshaft sensor so I replaced two, cleared the codes but all 4 came back.

From my research it looks like the balance shaft issue. mbusa bulletin sb 03.30/08i
I thought that issue was resolved after 2008?

Where can I find the Engine Serial # location?
I've got a call into my MB dealer to see if this is covered.

Well I see this forum is hopping
The ML has been at Mercedes for over a week, they scoped it and found metal shavings in the oil pan which they tried to blame on my mom 'neglecting maintenance' and running the engine dry until she presented her whole history of work done at a MB dealer.
This morning they called and said it was the cam shafts (all 4???) and it would be covered under warranty.
