4 Suspension problem

Failure Date: 08/05/2010

I owned 2002 mercedes model s430. About 6 months ago I noticed my car dropped lower to the tires as I started, then I turn it off and back on for the car to function normally. Now, for past 2 weeks the problem has come back and acted very often. I also talked to few friends and they said other vehicles with same model are experiencing same problem. Is this a recall from mercedes to correct the problem yet. I like to know a little bit more info on this problem and how to correct it.
