Inspection before warranty runs out
I have 2008 S550 with ABC and the manufacture warranty is coming to an end very soon. It is now at 49,900 mile.
I would like to address most of the common issue just before the warranty ends.
Is there a way to get a list of all applicable Service Bulletins to certain VIN #?
Any recommendation?
Thank you very much in advance.

Your Service Advisor should be able to list that for you (mine would), but you should also be looking for anything going wrong not on the bulletin list.
Every time I get my vehicles serviced my SA gives me a forward look at things to prepare for in the near/medium term - dampness around any seals, slight play in steering components, etc. You might have your dealer do a close inspection for things you might not be seeing or feeling yet, especially regarding the ABC, I heard it is very expensive to repair.
Feelings on these message boards vary widely about dealers (or stealers), but I trust mine to give me a fair deal and it keeps me coming back for service and sales. Some have an independent mechanic as a double check.
Good luck!

Check for any oil leaks. There were three rubber seals on my valve covers that started to leak. This was repaired under an aftermarket warranty. Parts were only about $5, but it took oer an hour of labor.
