AS A TIME MY VEHICLE NEEDS TO BE RENEWAL WITH CALIFORNIA DMV , THE RECALL PART HAS NOT BEEN AVAILABLE FROM MERCEDES MANUFACTURE. MERCEDES BENZ DOES NOT PROVIDE ANY FUTURE TIME FRAME FOR THE RECALL PART THAT WILL EFFECTS ON MY VEHICLE REGISTRATION RENEWAL WITH DMV (IT ALSO MEANS MY RENEWAL WITH DMV WILL BE ON HOLD AND I DON NOT HAVE ANY OTHER VEHICLE TO DRIVE IF IT HAPPENS BY THE TIME THE CURRENT VEHICLE REGISTRATION EXPIRED). I ALREADY CONTACTED WITH LOCAL MERCEDES DEALER AND MERCEDES BENZ US BUT THEY CAN NOT DO ANYTHING WITH THE RECALL ANY TIME SOON BEFORE MY CURRENT REGISTRATION ENDS. MY VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY USING AND HAVE NO ISSUE BUT I NEED TO REDEEM A RECALL PART SO I CAN GET A NEW VEHICLE REGISTRATION AT DMV. *TR
