SUBJECT:
MODELS 171/203/209/211 WITH M272, MODEL YEAR 2006 FLASH TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE
This Service Campaign has been initiated because DCAG has determined that on the affected vehicles (see VIN range) installing a modified version of software into the automatic transmission (722.9) control module using DAS version 09/05 or higher will improve the shifting characteristic of the transmission.
In the interest of customer satisfaction, MBUSA requests that this service campaign be performed on affected MY 2006 vehicles in your inventory, as indicated in VMI. An affected vehicle should not be retailed until it has been properly repaired. If any of these vehicles have been retailed, please contact the customer to install this update.
Prior to performing this Service Campaign:
^ Please check VMI to insure the vehicle is involved and to determine if the vehicle has been previously repaired.
^ Please review the entire Service Campaign bulletin.
Approximately 2714 vehicles are affected.
