Campaign - Inspect/Replace Air Suspension Compressor: Overview
Campaign No. 2006060002, July 2006FILE:
SERVICE: GROUP 00 OF SERVICE INFORMATION BINDER
PARTS: GROUP I OF INFORMATION _ PARTS & ACCESSORIES BINDER
TO: ALL MERCEDES-BENZ CENTERS
SUBJECT:
MODEL 164, MODEL YEAR 2006
INSPECT AIR SUSPENSION COMPRESSOR AND REPLACE IF NECESSARY
This Service campaign has been initiated because DCAG has determined that on affected vehicles (see VIN range below) the suspension air pump may not maintain the required amount of air in the system. If this occurs, the vehicle ride height will stay at the suspension's lowest level without being able to be adjusted. This situation will be accompanied by a warning message in the instrument cluster. There are no effects on vehicle handling but there will be a stiffer feel in the ride due to loss of air cushioning. The dealer will check part number and production information, and if necessary replace the affected air suspension compressor.
Please review the Effective Serial Number chart located on the following pages, and if necessary, repair the subject vehicles during the vehicle's next service.
Prior to performing this Service Campaign:
^ Please check VMI to insure the vehicle is involved and to determine if the vehicle has been previously repaired.
^ Please review the entire Service Campaign bulletin.
Included is a sample copy of a letter which owners of the affected vehicles will receive.
Approximately 2,360 vehicles are affected.

Note:
Every vehicle in the VIN range may not be included in the campaign. VMI must always be checked before performing campaigns to verify that the campaign is required on a specific vehicle. VMI always overrides the bulletin in reference to a specific vehicle's inclusion in a particular campaign. Please also note that Recall and Service Campaigns do not expire and may also be performed on a vehicle with a vehicle status indicator.
