FYI, it's not just the part number in question it's the time frame your vehicle was manufactured. The dealer can also verify based on your VIN. If you VIN falls within the range where the HB was used then you should have it replaced for free. Unfortunately, my W210's VIN fell outside of this range and the inspection indicated only "normal" wear.
