Wiring Problems of Mercedes Benz 230

Check engine light came on. Repair done to fix issue found as stated by mercedes park place tech in dallas TX - 'found engine control module sending incorrect signals due to oil damage. Also found air intake temp sensor with oil damage. Necessary to replace engine control module and intake temp sensor. Replaced engine wiring harness, camshaft position sensors and both O2 sensors. The total charge was $3432. 12. This was a known problem due to manufacture defect that had subsequent recall 2009100001. This recall was performed on my car on 7/25/2011. By this time I had already paid for the repair and therefore no issue was found or repair required. . I believe that I should be refunded for the this repair since it was a recall.

I have a 2003 mercedes c230 with 80k miles, the car would stop running either while idol or driving down the road. Took it to the dealer, replaced O2 sensor, next week same problem, replaced 02 sensor again, it died again while at the dealer, dealer then explained the oil harness leaked into the 02 sensor and knocked out the cam sensors and crank sensor as well, so they replaced those parts plu the harness and subharness. I understand from 2007-2008 mercedes service blogs that "seems to happening on the m271 motor's (2003-2005 c230); the cam sensors leak oil were the wire goes into the sensor, then the oil travels down to the O2 sensor and kills it; if oil gets in the harness and damages the O2 sensors, not only do you have to replace the O2 sensor but that entire section of wiring harness; prevention is the key. . . Also, mb has a harness that is supposed to prevent the oil from getting in the rest of the harness. . . " so my question is why hasn't mercedes (mb) been required to recall this part before it causes more serious problems, such as an accident from stalling or an auto fire?.
