Transport Canada recall 2008290

15 August 2008

Transport Canada lists: CL 2001–2008 · Class 2003–2007 · S 2002–2007

What is wrong

Certain vehicles equipped with Active Body Control (ABC) the sensors on the front struts may not operate within tolerances. As such, the sensor signal may not be accurately transmitted to the Electronic Control Unit (ECU). A variation in the transmitted values can result in one front strut adjusting to a value while the other does not adjust and presenting the driver with an uneven front suspension. This situation could have an effect on the vehicle's directional stability, possibly resulting in a vehicle crash with injuries or death.

Transport Canada recall 2005094 · manufacturer campaign 05-0531

4 April 2005

Transport Canada lists: Class 2003–2005 · CLS 2006 · E 2003–2005

What is wrong

On certain vehicles, the Sensotronic Brake Control (SBC) unit may contain a pump piston which is out of permissible tolerances. Also, vibrations within the electrical connector may cause a loss of electrical continuity. Both conditions may result in the system reverting to hydraulic function mode. A loss of brake power assist would result in increased pedal effort and extended stopping distance.

What the dealer will do

Dealers will inspect and, if required, replace the SBC pump unit.

Transport Canada recall 2004210 · manufacturer campaign 04-0514

24 June 2004

Transport Canada lists: Class 2003–2004 · E 2003–2005

What is wrong

The electronic monitoring system of the Sensotronic Brake Control (SBC) is designed to monitor the pressure gradient within the high pressure line of the brake system. If an unacceptable pressure gradient is detected, the system will switch, as it is designed to do, into the hydraulic function mode. DaimlerChrysler AG has determined that in certain instances, if vehicles are not routinely serviced and have extremely high mileage combined with a high number of brake actuations or a high brake actuation frequency, the pump motor of the SBC may run out of permissible tolerances, thereby triggering the hydraulic function mode.

What the dealer will do

Dealers will re-program the SBC hydraulic unit. A software update will provide a clear maintenance notice on the vehicle display and assure continuous pump speed operation within tolerances.
