Subject: Hydraulic valve for camshaft control Information: This is to inform you of a voluntary Workshop Campaign on the above-mentioned vehicles. Because of the previous attachment method, the electric plug connection on the hydraulic valves for camshaft control can become strained to such an extent that the function of the hydraulic valves can no longer be guaranteed over the service life of the vehicle.

This can cause noises and can subsequently impair the function of the rear-differential lock.
