2013 Mercedes-Benz Amg C63 Recalls & Complaints

The 2013 Mercedes-Benz AMG C63 has 6 recalls, the most serious involving the airbags: the front passenger airbag inflator can explode and send metal fragments into the cabin, and the driver airbag can deploy without warning.

On the airbag side, there is also a concern that an incorrect front passenger airbag may have been installed during a prior repair, meaning the bag may not deploy properly in a crash. On the steering side, a bolt connecting the steering coupling may not have been tightened sufficiently, which can cause a sudden and complete loss of steering. The final recall covers the emergency call system, where a software fault can cause the system to report an inaccurate vehicle location, potentially delaying emergency responders after a crash.
