That is utterly shocking, as I have all the original docs on the car and the I/C was never serviced.

Worth noting, the intercooler is the only part on the motor so far that I've seen with a "made in Mexico" sticker.

And as I have learned at Nissan, Mexico's definition of QC is a good bit different from the ROW... especially the Germans.

With the "spare no expense" nature of the motor, I'm shocked Daimler trusted such a vital component to chance.

Sobering indeed.
