About 20 years ago my wife's 10 year old BMW was recalled for a possible radiator cap problem. It would probably have been cheaper just to post out new rad caps to everybody. But it got a lot of "lost" cars and owners back onto their database.

Hi
I have been thinking about the 06 date stamp being the defining factor for my CLS 219, also the fact that a lot earlier cars seem to be being recalled as well, possibly checking to ensure the sunroof mechanisms on earlier cars haven't been replaced with the faulty units.
This must be a massive recall of cars, and appears to be world wide!

My 2007 C55 Estate is at Mercedes Bromley for the recall as I type this - hopefully they won't break something and then lie about it as they did last time I let them work on the car.

Received a recall letter for my 2005 211 this morning.
Awaiting a call back from my local MB, shall see about a new seal if the work is needed.

I've booked mine in with Sandown Guildford for next Thursday. They require an hour initially in order to ascertain whether my sunroof is one affected. Should it be the case, they'll need to order the parts from Germany and book it for a replacement.

Apparently my sunroof doesn't need replacing.

I am sure all these Recalls are simply just for the Dealers to make more money??
My 2nd car is a Zafira Tourer the previous Zafira had a recall for the dash fires that were being a problem........booked it in at the Vauxhall Dealer to have the supposedly faulty part replaced an after they had it for a day went to collect and they said all done and the motor had not even been moved. I leave tell tales like angle of steering wheel etc. etc.
Because when booked in i categorically said don`t do any other work and of course they made no money out of me. Would not even give me a letter to say it had been repaired.
Now this present Tourer has a recall for..........loose roof bars??? They are all dead tight and don`t move so i have just ignored it as it is not an MOT failure to ignore recalls.
So now it does look like they have started on these early Mercedes and they used better quality parts then as i have sold mine now but it was superbly built in 06.

Why are you addressing an issue of loose roof bars? I may have missed something here.

Mine went in yesterday to be done, took it 1st thing, phoned around 2ish and they said it did need doing but they was taking their time as it was the 1st one they've done, phoned again later and told it would be ready about 5, got there and told they haven't done it yet as didn't have right tools and they would call when they can do it and get it rebooked

What is the job? replace the whole sunroof ? or re-seal whatever is giving way? I got a letter a few days ago and will need to book mine in.

Hi all ,
Basically the recall is to check the bonding between the sunroof glass and frame and is tested at different points on the glass using different amounts of pulling force in nm. If it pulls away then it will be replaced. Cant say to much as don't want to drop myself in hot water but get it booked in with your local mb dealer and they will sort
Regards

Had my S211 booked in today for the check/work. Dealer rang 45 mins before drop off to advise that the tool has not been received and now on back order from Germany so not to drop in today - will contact when the tool is received although they do not have date for this. Disorganised centrally at MB?
Could be attributable to COVID delays
