*** Sensotronic Brake Recall Notice ***

Just wanted to let you all know that MB is finally recalling all cars with Sensotronic brakes to have a service update performed.

I received a notice on Friday stating that I should bring the car in for a software update which resolves some safety issues with the Sensotronic brakes in my W211 E55.

Already brought mine in and it was fixed in about 1 1/2 hours. I can't tell the difference.

It only affects 2003 and early 2004 cars.. Yours was probably a late 2004 production.

You're lucky you don't have to go through the recall.

I got my recall notice today, for those of you who had the recall performed, does it reduce the buzzing noise and vibration from the SBC???
