The 2021 Mercedes-Benz AMG GT has 3 recalls, the most serious affecting Black Series models where front wheel speed sensor wiring can be damaged by suspension and steering movement, disabling stability control, traction control, and anti-lock brakes.
The wiring harness to the front wheel speed sensors on Black Series vehicles may be the wrong length, leaving it vulnerable to being pulled or abraded as the suspension moves through its range. If the wires break or short out, the systems that help the driver maintain control during hard braking or cornering can stop working without warning. The remaining recall covers the automatic emergency call system, which can become disabled and prevent the vehicle from contacting an emergency services center after a crash, potentially delaying the arrival of first responders.
