Official summary

This service campaign has been initiated because Daimler AG (DAG) has determined that the preservation agent at the lower door hinges at the front and rear as well as at the lift-gate hinges may not correspond to specifications. As a result, it is possible that corrosion may form at the lower door hinges at the front and rear as well as at the hinges of the lift-gate. To remedy this situation an authorized Mercedes-Benz Dealer will apply preservation agent during the next workshop visit.

What a TSB means. Technical service bulletins are repair guidance manufacturers send to dealers — they are not recalls, and repairs are not automatically free (warranty extensions are an exception worth checking). The full document is available via NHTSA’s vehicle lookup.
