Enter VIN here for recalls: https://www.mbusa.com/mercedes/recall
Request local dealer run VMI (vehicle master inquiry) to confirm there are no outstanding service campaigns for your VIN.
Xentry bulletins/ systems updates under factory warranty, dealer will only update if you are experiencing a problem regarding any particular system i.e.: COMAND head unit/display.

Partial VMI
Thank you - I had received a vmi before I bought my cpo. This is a subset. To me it looks like there was a c1 service taken care of in December 2016. Does this mean everything looks okay up to the date of the printout?
thanks so much

Service Campaign to check relays was performed, see attachment. Dealership should review VMI each and every time vehicle is brought in you can also call SA to check if you would rather not wait.
