Air Shocks deflate during hot weather

So MB has informed me that during periods of very hot weather, the air shocks on the E63 may deflate overnight, starting with the right front. This was covered recently by a service bulletin that I couldn't get my hands on.

I'm not too concerned as I have factory warranty left, but I thought I'd mention it in case anyone has had a similar issue.

I live in the far northern suburbs of Chicago which has felt more like the southern Tropics lately. If it's not an issue this January, I'll be fine with it.

i come out in the morning to find my car about 1/2" or more lower than when i parked. guess ill swing by the dealer. figured it was just the change in air tempurature over night and the air volume in the shock decreasing from cooling.

It will fail, and you will be stranded. Find a new dealer, the one you have now has no respect for you.

Any idea how we could get a copy of the TSB?
