Description of the problem	Gl 450 with vin [xxx] experienced exact problem defined by nhtsa recall # 18v272 in may 2018 (2 or 3 weeks prior to receiving recall notice from mercedes-benz usa). Dealership, mercedes-benz of midlothian virginia, performed repair work required (based urgent need from mil saying "do not drive vehicle. Mb midlothian repaired the active suspension system by replacing the "sealing cap" on the "acs oil reservoir" - the exact repair specified in the recall. I was charged in excess of $400 for this repair as the dealership "had not yet received official notice that the recall would include (my) vehicle." upon receiving the official recall letter in june 2018, i contacted mercedes-benz usa. Mb-usa told me that the work i had paid for was, indeed, covered by the recall, and that mb dealership should reimburse me for the charges and re-charge mb-usa. On august 20, i again contacted mb midlothian who told me that i needed to file with mb-usa for reimbursement. So i, again, contacted mb-usa and asked for reimbursement. Mb-usa, again, told me "no", the dealership must initiate the process and provide reimbursement. Mb-usa rep said that the dealership should reimburse me since the work conducted was now a recall. Payment for the recall is directly between mb-usa and mb-dealership. However mb-midlothian dealership said that "this is not the way it works." this is an issue between mb-usa and mb-dealership-not me. I, the customer, am caught by the finger-pointing in the middle with no resolution. This is a known major safety issue identified by a recall !!! Mb-usa and their dealerships work it out, and not leave customers with no resolution because of their incompetence. I am a phd automotive engineer, but do not work for or get paid by mb. Thus, as a very frustrated customer, i am caught in mb bureaucracy with no resolution or acceptance of responsibility. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
