2007 Mercedes-Benz CL216 recalls
Recall 08V-405: Suspension
Problem: Mercedes benz is recalling 4,564 my 2001-2006 cl-class (Model 215), my 2002-2006 s-class (Model 220), my 2003-2007 sl-class (Model 230), my 2007-2008 cl-class (Model 216), and my 2007 s-class (Model 221)passenger vehicles equipped with active body control (Abc) acceleration sensors on the front struts. These sensors measure acceleration around the z-axis of the vehicle and assure an automatic adaptation of the front struts to maintain a relatively level body position. Variations in the soldering process resulted in soldering points on the board of the abc sensors which may not be within design tolerances. Signals from the affected sensors measuring the acceleration may not be accurately transmitted to the engine control unit.
Risk: A variation in the transmitted values between affected and unaffected sensors can result in one front strut adjusting to a value indicating body movement while another strut does not adjust presenting the driver with an uneven front suspension. This condition may lead to unexpected body movements at the front axle which can adversely influence the vehicle's directional stability and could lead to a vehicle crash.
Fix: Dealers will inspect and replace, if necessary, the front abc sensors in all potentially affected vehicles. The recall began on september 22, 2008. Owners may contact mercedes-benz at 1-800-367-6372.
