IMPORTANT SERVICE CAMPAIGN INFORMATION
This Service Campaign is being launched today and the 123,831 affected vehicles will be flagged in VMI.
Parts - No parts are required. Software update rate is 100%. Use Xentry /DAS version 09-10/2013 with
add-on 3153 or higher.
Owner Notification - As this is a voluntary customer care initiative, no customer letter will be mailed.
Background
This Service Campaign has been initiated because Daimler AG (DAG), the manufacturer of Mercedes-Benz
vehicles, has determined that the fuel system control module software does not correspond to current
production configuration. As a result a Check Engine Light (GEL) may occur. An authorized Mercedes-Benz
dealer will update the fuel system control module software at the next workshop visit.
A copy of the campaign bulletin is attached, and may also be found on StarTeklnfo.
When scheduling customers for an appointment please ensure that you are aware of any open campaigns in
VMI so that the customer is advised about the time necessary to complete all campaigns.
Note: VM I must always be checked before performing campaigns to verify that the campaign is required on a
specific vehicle.
Dealers may also identify vehicles subject to a campaign through NetStar by selecting "Campaign" under the
Controlling tab. Only vehicles that have been retailed by the respective dealer will be displayed within this
program.
While we regret any inconvenience this may cause, Mercedes-Benz USA, LLC is determined to maintain a high
level of vehicle quality and customer satisfaction.
Please refer all customer inquiries to the Customer Assistance Center at 1-800-FOR_MERCedes
(1-800-367-6372).
