MERCEDES BENZ E CLASS ( 01/07/2006 – 30/04/2009) DEFECT: On E Class vehicles without AIRMATIC blocking of the level sensor linkage may occur. In extreme cases this may lead to breakage of the level sensor linkage. The linkage is used to measure the vehicle level via a sensor. If the linkage breaks it is possible the level sensor constantly records a vehicle level that is too low. This leads to a contact pressure rise in both air spring bellows and to hardening of the rear-axle suspension causing a noticeable loss in comfort.
Remedy
Replace the level sensor linkage on these vehicles as a precautionary measure.
