Suspension Noise problem #1

While approaching interstate on ramp began to hear a loud whistling sound coming from the front left wheel well. I pulled over and found the left front suspension beginning to sink. The strut lower to a point where the body of the car was only 2-3 inches above the tire. When I checked the dashboard indicators I had an error light indicating that the vehicle was too low to drive.

Suspension problem #2

Please advise of any Mercedes Benz recalls on air suspension issue with cls class vehicles, in particular, Cls550 model. There seems to be a recurring issue with leak or malfunction with hydraulic air suspension causing vehicle to lean to one side and incur warning of "stop vehicle is too low".
