New recall (http://www.irna.ir/en/news/view/menu-235/0504010529182346.htm)

Yep, heard of the recall but I never realized how big it actually was. 350,000,000 euros, WOW!!The problem with it, though, is that those voltage regulators are near impossible to find by themselves. Hopefully Benz has fixed this problem in the last couple weeks because replacing the entire alternator because the voltage regulator isn't available is just insane.
