13 recalls across 4 model years
The Mercedes-Benz AMG GT43 has 13 recalls spanning the 2021–2026 model years, with the most serious being a transmission wiring harness defect on 2021–2023 models where a misrouted or incorrectly connected harness can corrode or short-circuit and start a fire.
The wiring fire risk on 2021–2023 models appears across two related recalls: one covering a misrouted harness that exposes the connector to corrosion, and a second covering cases where the harness was incorrectly wired during a prior repair attempt. A third fire-related issue on 2021–2023 vehicles involves a 48-volt ground cable in the engine compartment that can overheat if its connection was not tightened properly during assembly. On the fuel side, 2021–2023 models are also subject to a fuel pump that can shut down without warning, cutting drive power while the vehicle is moving.
The 2026 model year has a separate electrical concern where the infotainment control unit can reset while driving, causing the instrument panel display to go blank and removing the speedometer and warning lights from view. The 2023 model year has a software error that can disable the exit warning system's audio and visual alerts, leaving occupants unaware of approaching vehicles when opening a door.
On the 2022 model year, vehicles with a heated leather steering wheel can lose hands-off detection functionality, which disables the driver attention prompts and automatic emergency stop features tied to the driver assistance system.
The 2021 model year carries several occupant safety recalls. Side crash sensor connectors can work loose and delay airbag and seatbelt activation in a side impact. Separately, seatbelt pretensioners may not perform correctly in a crash. Rear seat belt retractors can deactivate early, preventing a child safety seat from locking in place. The multimedia system software can cause the backup camera display to go black or reboot, reducing rear visibility while reversing. There is also a potential failure of the automatic crash notification system that can send emergency responders to the wrong location after a collision.
