Urgent Recall
On the pending "Urgent Recall" for all ML/GL vehicles...
When I heard about the recall, I called RBM of Atlanta, the largest of our local Mercedes Benz dealers, to ask about it. They requested our name, address and phone number, and told us that they would be in touch.
They are being very proactive. Here in the Atlanta area, the RBM tech will call the phone number that you gave them as he finishes his last check, and if the vehicle is available, comes directly to your home. He will explain what he is doing and why, lifts the hood, clips the rubber seal around the booster, removes and bags it (making sure that it has the P/N bar code), adds the VIN, and mileage to the bag, checks for corrosion in the joint, closes the hood and goes on his way. Total - fifteen minutes or less.
Apparently, at least in our "non-salt" area, corrosion is very, very rare.
We have not received any recall notice, but we called RBM to ask about the recall.
