I'm not an expert but I saw thae same warning sign 0n my E class. You probably blew your right front airmatic shock. Dealer will want about $1k for shock plus labor. Arnott sells them for half w/ lifetime guarantee.

How many miles?

Question :do you have your car lowered in any way either with links, Renntech or via Star??
Just curious if that could cause the airmatic shocks to go bad sooner..
