Campaign No. 2006080003, August 2006
TO: ALL MERCEDES-BENZ CENTERS

MODEL 209, MODEL YEAR 2005-2006

CHECK COMAND AND NAVIGATION SOFTWARE AND UPDATE IF NECESSARY
This Service Campaign has been initiated because DCAG has determined that on affected vehicles with code 528 or 530 (see VIN range shown below), incorrect software may have been installed potentially leading to COMAND malfunctions. In order to proactively deal with any potential customer complaints, dealer will check the software releases using a workshop service CD and update if necessary.
Please review the Effective Serial Number chart, and if necessary, repair the subject vehicles during the vehicle's next service.
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 31,188 vehicles are affected.
Effective Serial Range
Note:
Every vehicle in the VIN range may not be included in the campaign. VMI must always be checked before performing campaigns to verify that the campaign is required on a specific vehicle. VMI always overrides the bulletin in reference to a specific vehicle's inclusion in a particular campaign. Please also note that Recall and Service Campaigns do not expire and may also be performed on a vehicle with a vehicle status indicator.
