TO: ALL MERCEDES-BENZ CENTERS

SUBJECT:

APPLY PRESERVATION AGENT INTO LEFT LONGITUDINAL MEMBER

Dealers will apply additional preservation agent to the left front longitudinal member in all affected vehicles at the vehicle's next workshop visit.

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.

Approximately 21 vehicles are affected.
