What can fail
The front roof panel between the windshield and panoramic sunroof may have been improperly bonded during a prior repair, causing the panel to detach from the vehicle.
What the fix does
The 2016 Mercedes-Benz AMG S63 has 4 recalls, the most serious involving the front roof panel, which can detach from the vehicle and become a hazard for other drivers on the road.
The roof panel concern covers two related scenarios: the original adhesive bonding the front panel between the windshield and panoramic sunroof can deteriorate and allow the panel to separate, and on vehicles that already had that panel replaced or repaired, the replacement bonding may also be inadequate, carrying the same detachment risk. Either way, the panel can come free at speed and land in traffic. On the occupant safety side, the seatbelt extenders on this coupe and convertible body style can fail to retract properly and may break in a crash, leaving the occupant without full belt restraint at the moment it is needed most. There is also a headlight alignment issue on certain vehicles: the low-beam headlights may not be aimed correctly from the factory, which can reduce how far and how clearly the driver sees the road ahead at night or in low-visibility conditions.
