The 2020 Mercedes-Benz AMG GT53 has 7 recalls, the most serious being a fire risk tied to the transmission wiring harness, where misrouted or incorrectly connected wiring can corrode or short-circuit and ignite a fire.
On the safety systems side, a software error in the electronic stability control can cause it to react incorrectly in a dynamic driving situation, raising the risk of a crash. The left-rear seatback latch may not hold under load in a crash, allowing cargo to break through into the passenger area and injure occupants. Two separate recalls cover the automatic emergency call system: in one case the system may direct responders to the wrong location, and in another it may fail to connect entirely, delaying help after a crash. Wheel hub caps on certain vehicles can detach at speed and become a hazard for other road users.
