Mercedes Benz recalls :

CL Class     2000-2002 and 2004-2005 models
S Class      2000-2002  and 2004-2005 models

NHTSA campaign id Number : 06V028000

Mfg's Report Date : Feb 01, 2006

Potential Number Of Units Affected : 36,911

Summary:
On certain vehicles, the instrument cluster is experiencing electrical
malfunctions. The instrument cluster contains gauges and indicators that
must be illuminated whenever the vehicle is in operation.

Due to inadequate illumination, the driver will be unable to read the
gauges and indicators, such as the speedometer, which could increase the
risk of a crash.

Dealers will replace the instrument cluster modules. The manufacturer has
not yet provided an owner notification schedule. Owners may contact
Mercedes-Benz at 1-800-367-6372.

Administration's vehicle safety hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (tty

OK, this is probably a dumb question, but what went right in 2003 that
that model year is not affected by this recall? I find that very
strange. Anybody have an idea?

They ran out of Lucas parts and had to use BOSCH? :-)

That can't be it. If the instrument clusters were made by Lucas, no one
would expect them to light up at all.
