2008-2010 Focus
ISSUE:
Some 2008-2010 Focus vehicles may exhibit a squeak/creak noise from the underbody when driving on rough roads. The noise may be caused by contact between the park brake cables and the routing eyelets.
ACTION:
If the noise is isolated to the park brake cable, install the sleeves over each of the existing park brake cables and inside the routing eyelets. Secure the sleeves with locally obtained tie straps.
Work procedures vary slightly for certain platforms. This article outlines the different procedures to follow.

2012-2017 C-Class, CLS-Class, E-Class, GL-Class, GLC-Class, GLE-Class, GLK-Class, GLS-Class, M-Class, and S-Class vehicles (166, 204, 205, 207, 212, 213, 217,218, 222, 253, 292 platforms)
Mercedes-Benz AG (“MBAG”), the manufacturer of Mercedes-Benz vehicles, has determined that on certain Model Year (“MY”) 12-17 C-Class, CLS-Class, E-Class, GL-Class, GLC-Class, GLE-Class, GLK-Class, GLS-Class, M-Class, and S-Class vehicles (205, 218, 207, 212, 213, 166, 253, 292, 204, 217, 222 platforms) that are driven for extended periods of time in salt-belt states and that are operated in high-corrosion environments with exposure to road salt may experience varying levels of corrosion on specific bolts that are used on the power steering rack. This corrosion, along with certain weighted driving loads, could result in the fracturing of these bolts. This campaign affects approximately 418,851 vehicles.
The system provides great ride & handling, but it can be complicated to service if you do not have the right training.
Technical Service Bulletins can be valuable in helping solve vehicle problems. But sometimes, it takes multiple TSBs to find a pattern failure or the “root cause” of a problem. In the case of the Audi/VW 2.0L Fuel Stratified Injection (FSI) engine introduced in 2006, three problems related to engine carbon and fuel issues are connected
