Mercedes Benz has announced that they are recalling certain models of the 2008 S Class and CL Class passenger vehicles. They stated that a malfunction may occur on the signal acquisition and actuation module front (SAM-F) transistors. The SAM-F is a double transistor that helps control vehicle functions and the lighting of the center console. Incorrect storage of the transistors LED the transistors to be exposed to excess humidity.
The presence of this moisture in combination with the terminal stress during the “reflow soldering” may damage the transistors and prevent them from properly functioning which will increase the risk of a crash. Dealers will inspect and replace all potentialy affected SAM free of charge. Owners may contact Mercedes Benz at 1-800-367-6372.
