It's possible, I know that the entire braking system is manufactured by ATE in Germany as is for all MB cars... Either way, if he got a new caliper from Chrysler and it was copper or silver, not black, he doesn't have to worry that he didn't get the right part... It will say ATE stamped into the casting...

For future reference, you can purchase directly from ATE at 45% less than the dealer wil charge.
