2018 MERCEDES-BENZ AMG GT Recalls — Canada & USA

The 2018 Mercedes-Benz AMG GT has 4 recalls, with the most serious being a carbon-fiber driveshaft that may not be adequately bonded to its flange, which can cause the driveshaft to separate and leave the vehicle without drive power. Two recalls affect the airbag system on convertible models. A software incompatibility can cause both stages of the front airbags to fire in a low-speed crash instead of just the first stage, delivering more force than intended to the occupant. A separate software issue in the airbag control unit may cause the system to fall out of compliance with occupant protection standards, potentially affecting how the airbags respond in a frontal impact. There is also a seatbelt concern: the belt can bind in its guidance loop, creating slack that may allow an occupant to move too far forward in a crash.
