2008 R350 - Service/Safety Recall Campaign

I just received in mail.

FYI:

"Your vehicle is involved in a service/safety recall compaign.
Please contact our service department immediately to inquire and or schedule the repair(s) at no charge."

Does anyone else receive one.?
My VIN no. is : 4JGCB65E88A074xxx.

Update: Found on line.
It seems that Mercedes-Benz’s problems with electronics are still happening. The company is now recalling 404 units of 11 different models, including the 2009 SL and SLK, to fix a software problem that could result in problems with fuel gauge readings and the speedometer.

Here are the models affected:

2006-’08 M-Class and R-Class

2005-’09 SLK

2005-’08 C-Class

2003-’04 and 2006-’08 CLK-Class

2003-’08 E-Class

2004 and 2008 CL-Class

2008 CLS-Class

2004 and 2007-’08 S-Class

2003 G-Class

2003-’04, 2006 and 2009 SL-Class.
