W211 Ball Joint recall?

[digisatman]

Hi all,

I have a 2003 e270d MB and while on the phone to my local dealer today, he told me that my car is due for a "Ball Joint" recall, something relating to the suspension.

I personally havent heard of this recall, anyone else taken their car in for this recall?

Cheers,

Digi

Get it checked ASAP. Mine were done FOC in order to get through the small matter of an MoT.

Mine is a 03 e270cdi, the drivers side joint is not making a knocking noise which i suspect is a ball joint,but I cant find any info on the recall online.

Ours is a February 04 and it has just had both joints replaced. There is a recall and it is a VIN number replacement. although they might inspect them anyway.

Contact your dealer.
