I just acquired a 2001 CL500 with 44K miles. Car is in mint condition and I love the car. I've only had it about a month and several times the Active Body Control light comes on and then goes off
When in red the car drives terrible. What causes intermittent warnings? I assume that if I had a bad pump or leak the warning would be constant. Also, have any recalls be done on this? And lastly since I am not the original owner does Mercedes do recall work at no charge? Any input/advise is greatly appreciated.

The only ABC related recall I'm aware of is to replace a hose in this system. All recall work is free regardless of who owns the vehicle. I don't know what the problem could be with your car, other than a leak in fluid, but take it in and have them check it out.You also might want to check the fluid level.

 

yes absolute you need to check the level first before anythin........
