Campaign No. 2007060002, June 2007
TO: ALL MERCEDES-BENZ CENTERS
SUBJECT:
MODELS 215, 220
MODEL YEARS 2000-2004
REPLACE ACTIVE BODY CONTROL (ABC) HIGH PRESSURE DISTRIBUTION HOSE (M113 ENGINE)
This Recall Campaign has been initiated because DCAG has determined that on affected vehicles corrosion may occur in the inner steel portions of the
Active Body Control's high-pressure distribution hose due to extensive exposure to humidity. Over time, corrosion may deteriorate the inner steel
portions of the ABC's high-pressure distribution hose. This may result in ABC hydraulic fluid leakage near the catalytic converter of the subject vehicles.
Under some circumstances leaking hydraulic fluid may come in contact with hot engine components and lead to a possibility of fire.
Prior to performing this Recall Campaign:
^
Please check VMI to insure the vehicle is involved in the Campaign and if it has been previously repaired.
^
Please review the entire Recall Campaign bulletin and follow the procedure steps exactly as described.
Shown in this bulletin is a sample copy of a letter which owners of the affected vehicles will receive.
Approximately 19,824 vehicles are affected.
Procedure
NOTE:
Refer to the MSDS (via NetStar or the Parts Assistance Center website) for a complete description of hazards and other important safety
information regarding the hydraulic fluid used in this procedure.
1.
Replace ABC high-pressure hose for pressure supply valve unit to front/rear axle distributor; refer to WIS document AR32.50-P-0005M.
CAUTION!
Before opening the hydraulic circuits of the power steering and ABC system, thoroughly clean the areas near the separation points. Even the
smallest dirt particles can cause damages and malfunctions to the hydraulic components if allowed to enter them.
