B Service notice way too soon.
My R500 was serviced at the dealer last November. At that time the car's computer called it Service C. The dealer performed oil change, all checks etc and also changed the transmission fluid as well as the brake fluid. That was at 38K miles or so. Fast forward about three months later and my car tells be Service B is due in 15 days.
Has anyone come across this? Is it because maybe the counter wasn't reset properly?
I ll be calling the dealer, I just wanted some feedback from others.

I forgot to mention that since the last service I have only driven the car for less than 3K miles, so mileage was not exceeded.

If they forgot to reset the service indicator you would have noticed sooner than this. It would have been flashing up warnings every time you started the car. Its possible that you have a faulty sensor. I haven't seen one of those pop up on here yet, but it doesn't seem out of the realm of possibility. However, if you were doing a lot of towing in those three months, the oil may very well need changing.
