NOTE REGARDING CUSTOMER REIMBURSEMENT
Reimbursement to customers for repairs performed prior to this recall:
If the customer already paid to have this recall condition repaired and provides adequate documentation to support their claim of a non-warranty repair
of this item, they may be eligible to receive reimbursement.
Requests for reimbursement may include parts, labor, fees and taxes. Reimbursement may be limited to the amount the repair would have cost if
completed by an authorized Mercedes-Benz dealer. See "Reimbursement to customer for repairs performed prior to recall" in MBUSA's Warranty Policy
and Procedures Manual.
Reimbursement will only be made with adequate documentation for repairs performed between March 26, 2002 and June 30, 2003
Please note the claim submitted for customer reimbursement will not close the campaign (if still open). If the customer is still in possession of the vehicle
with an open campaign, please arrange to close the recall in the usual manner.
When performing the recall as indicated, the proper hose and hose clamp must be used.
