The 2018 Mercedes-Benz AMG GT S has 3 recalls, with the most serious affecting seatbelts and airbags: seatbelts can bind in their guidance loops and develop slack, and the passenger seat occupant classification system on vehicles with AMG Performance Seats can misread the seat and either fire or suppress the passenger airbag incorrectly in a crash.
The third recall involves the automatic crash notification system, which can send emergency responders to the wrong location after a collision, delaying help when it is needed most.
