AsianML Date registered: Dec 1899 Location: Vehicle(s): | Power Steering Recall #2003-040005 I just got the letter for my second power steering recall notice. Going to try and set up an appointment with the dealer on a weekend so I can go with my mom and see if we can get a loaner as well. I hope they'll have W204s so I can actually drive it and see how much better it is compared to the W203. | ||

I'm waiting for BOTH letters and that way I can get them both done at once. | ||

AsianML Date registered: Dec 1899 Location: Vehicle(s): | Re: Power Steering Recall #2003-040005 So I drove to the dealer today only to find out that they don't have the particular hoses that my ML uses (and I assume others close to my VIN) in stock. They have plenty for other MLs though. I have to call tomorrow morning and see if they have it by then, then come in. Oh and there was a white ML320 that came into the service bay right after me. I assume they came to get the recall done too. | ||

The hoses on my 2002 and 1999 are identical because I replaced them both a year ago (didn't want to drive to Huntsville and wait to have it fixed when a hose only cost me $38.00 each). I don't know why yours would be different than any other ML. | ||

The service sheet says it was the lower hose they replaced. Was the first recall for upper or lower? | ||

This is the second recall for the lower hose. | ||

Noodles Date registered: Dec 1899 Location: Vehicle(s): | Re: Power Steering Recall #2003-040005 Got the letter and not only got a new clamp but also a new hose. 2,000 miles later the P/S pump died. $368 for a new ZF pump. 1 hour of knuckle busting. | ||
