Would applicable recalls like this show up on the mbusa.com Owner's Online website, i.e. under My Vehicles...Campaigns? This one affects so very few vehicles but I'm curious whether in the future if I can find out if something important for my SL without having to ask the service department periodically. (Right now it says "No open campaigns" for me)

Normally yes, but with OCS I would want dealer confirmation.
