TO: ALL MERCEDES-BENZ CENTERS

SUBJECT: Model 207, Model Year 2010 - 2011

Adjust Trunk Lid Stops

This Service Campaign has been initiated because Daimler AG (DAG) has determined that due to various build tolerances the trunk lid may touch the bumper during closing on the affected vehicles. Dealers will adjust the trunk lid stops and touch up any resulting paint damage to the trunk lid at the next workshop visit.

Prior to performing this Service Campaign:

^ Please check VMI to determine if the vehicle is involved in the Campaign and if it has been previously repaired.

^ Please review the entire Service Campaign bulletin and follow the repair procedure exactly as described.

Please note that Recall and Service Campaigns do not expire and may also be performed on a vehicle with a vehicle status indicator.

Approximately 5,226 vehicles are affected.

Procedure

1. Check trunk lid edge for paint damage:

^ If paint base coat on trunk lid edge is damaged perform steps 2 and 3.

^ If paint base coat on trunk lid edge is not damaged (only the clear coat is damaged) perform step 2 only.





2. Unscrew trunk lid stop (arrows Figure 1) one complete turn (counter clockwise).

Note:
