The 2019 Mercedes-Benz AMG SL63 has 4 recalls, the most serious involving a rear axle carrier bolt that can work loose over time and cause unexpected handling changes that raise the risk of a crash.
The front passenger airbag carries its own concern: the airbag cushion may have been sewn incorrectly, leaving a seam that can split open when the bag deploys in a crash. A torn seam reduces how well the bag cushions the occupant, which can increase the chance of injury in a collision. There are also two recalls tied to the automatic emergency call system. In one, the system can send emergency responders to the wrong location after a crash. In the other, the system can go offline entirely, leaving occupants unable to reach emergency services and delaying help from arriving. Both issues affect the same post-crash communication function, and prior repair attempts did not fully resolve the problem across all affected vehicles.
