Problems adjusting heating
Cars affected
All cars without ACC within VIN intervals:
W2050001 - W2053455
and
X2000001 - X2002512
Background
The heater temperature control cable on certain cars within the above VIN intervals could be bent or broken. This may be caused by a stiff air blending
flap (heater shutter), insufficient clearance between the cable loop at the end of the cable and the pin on the lever, low safety margin (materials too close
in tolerance) or a restriction in the cable sheath.
Various measures have been taken in production to solve this problem, which means that cars with VIN from W2053456 and X2002513 respectively are
correct.
Parts required
