It's official. Harmonic Balancer Service Campaign released 4/5/05

[DR.DIESEL]

Well, it's go time.

I recieved my copy of the Service Campaign this morning. It Effects all M112 V-6 and M113 V-8 engines from 1998 to around 2001 on some cars.
Due to the size of this campaign and amount of cars involved, MB will be sending letters to owners in stages. That way, 700,000 people don't all show up at the same time. (My dealer has 8 of the correct updated part at this time in stock.) We are to inspect the PN# of your balancer and replace it if found to be one of the following numbers. 112 035 00 00 or 112 035 06 00.
This was a supplier quality defect and MB has been building up inventory to handle this campaign.
The campaign states any previous non-warranty repairs paid for by clients,
will be eligible to receive reimbursement. You must provide adequate documentation for reimbursement.
Please don't MOB your dealer. Just like all the other 4 Million recalled MB's lately, we will get to them all one at a time.

Have a great day.
