I did a search and read, with great interest, the thread regarding the MB spring perch failures.

I work at an independant and primarily foreign repair facility. We are in the US "rust belt" in SW Michigan and do a lot of high end Euro cars including MB.

We have recently been identifying and repairing a lot of spring perch problems especially on E320's and 300E's. Some that we have found were all but invisable to the naked eye but, when the undercoat was removed, it was clear that the structure had been seriously compromised!

Does anyone have any new information on a safety recall or a change in MB's corporate position on this problem??
