The 2017 Mercedes-Benz AMG GT S has 2 recalls, both involving the automatic emergency call system that can transmit the wrong location to emergency responders after a crash, delaying help from reaching the scene.
Both recalls trace to software faults in the eCall system: one causes the system to use an incorrect date and time, which corrupts the location data it sends, and the other can result in emergency services being dispatched to the wrong place entirely. The real-world risk is the same in both cases: if the car is in a collision and the eCall system activates, rescue personnel may be directed somewhere other than where the vehicle actually is.
