My engine light is on. Codes P1200 and P1208 were read. My car is running rougher than before. Is there a recall on this factory defective balance shaft? What is my recourse? Will MB cover this repair? My mechanic wants $6500. To fix this problem. I have not had any work done yet it makes me sick to think about it. This will be my last Mercedes if the dealership does not cover this inferior part!
