TO: ALL MERCEDES-BENZ CENTERS

SUBJECT:
MODEL 219 IWC EDITION AMG, MODEL YEAR 2006

REPLACE TRUNK LID HANDLE STRIP

This Service Campaign has been initiated because DCAG has determined that on the affected vehicles (see VIN range below) with option code Y20 (IWC: International Watch Company) the trunk lid handle strip (strip crossing the trunk lid and trunk release handle) may not uniformly contact the trunk lid. Dealer will replace the trunk lid handle strip.

Please review the Effective Serial Number chart located below, 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.

Effective Serial Number Range





Approximately 54 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.
