Should I expect a letter from MBUSA soon?

Just to be accurate, it is not a recall campaign, which is a campaign that is forced by the U.S. governement.

Because of the number of complaints of the balancer failures, NHTSA launched an investigation, and decided not to force Mercedes to conduct a recall, I guess because the governemnt felt it did not affect safety.

Instead, Mercedes decided for PR or customer satisfaction issues, that they would voluntarily conduct a service campaign to replace the faulty balancers.
