Yes many people have had theirs covered 100%. Unfortunately my dealer was being a prick and they only agreed to cover 50% on behalf of MBUSA. This should be a safety recall item so the least MB should do is cover 100% of the cost on an individual case basis. A much more ethical way for them to do this would be to issue a recall.
