PLEASE READ- wtf, my spring fell off

Hi all,
So I'm driving along tonight in my 97 E320 arount 30 mph on a local road and I hear a big clunk boom bang in my left front wheel. The frigging spring broke off of the car at what looks to be the weld point... It literally broke off at the top of the spring where it's connected to the frame!!!!

Someone please tell me that falls into a spring perch recall that I've read about on this forum. I can't beleive that this could occur on a car of this quality.

Any info on similar experiences, remedies, costs, and what was included in the repair is most welcomed.

Thank you.
