I am experiencing issues with my active curve system, that other mb models of the same year and class are experiencing. Some of the 2016 gle's have been recalled for this particular issue, but my vehicle/VIN has not been included in the recall. I receive this error message when turning a curve. My vehicle is under warranty and mb will not pay for this with my cpo warranty. The dealership has quoted me $6984 to fix the issue. Please investigate this matter because I think that my vehicle/VIN should have been included with the current recall campaign number 18V27200. My active curve system has been leaking oil. I am concerned as this is a fire hazard and safety issue. I can smell the oil burning as well as see it foaming from the fluid canister.
