The 2015 Mercedes-Benz AMG ML63 has 4 recalls, the most serious involving water pooling in the spare tire well that can damage the fuel pump control unit and stall the engine without warning, and a front suspension oil leak that can reach an ignition source and start a fire.
The seatbelt recall affects vehicles built during a narrow window in spring 2015: the right rear seatbelt anchor bolt may have been installed incorrectly, meaning that bolt can pull free in a crash and leave the rear passenger unrestrained. There is also a software fault in the emergency call system where the date and time data can fall out of sync with reality, causing the system to relay an inaccurate vehicle location to emergency responders if a crash triggers an automatic call.
