Recall for EGR Replacement and Software Update.

[WiseSage]

Everything is occurring today.
Recall 2090008 - replace the EGR cooler and update the engine electrical software.
Has anybody else had this procedure?

What was the duration?
Did you see any variation?
It is ostensibly a fire danger.
I interrogated Mercedes on the Emissions Software, since I want to avoid any association with it.
A colleague's Volkswagen was subsequently damaged, resulting in diminished performance and fuel efficiency.
I am now awaiting a call to finalise the booking.

Intriguing. There is much discussion on the BMW forums about EGR Valve/Cooler recalls, with a prevailing feeling that it resembles a 'dieselgate' scenario. It is not asserted that this applies to MB; it may well be a coincidence.

MB reports a malfunctioning valve, resulting in coolant inducing a chemical reaction inside a plastic manifold. Potential fire hazard; hundreds of thousands of vehicles subject to recall. They assert that it is not an emissions issue, but rather a fire hazard recall.
Google corroborates this with the European Commission Alert Systems and Car Recalls EU.
I would never let them to access my emissions software, haha!

I do not perceive. Recall 2090008 - repair the EGR cooler and update the engine electronics The software has just two airbags and one more item that was not specified. What does this upgrade entail?

[WiseSage]

Completed the procedure on a C300d.
They just required software modifications, not an EGR replacement.
Did not impact anything.

I said that they did not do any emissions software upgrade.

It seems to be an excellent method to allocate some time. You are completely forgiven, my friend!
