The 2018 Mercedes-Benz SL 450 has two recalls, the more serious being a front passenger airbag that may have been improperly sewn, causing the seam to tear during deployment and reducing the airbag's ability to protect the occupant in a crash. The second recall involves the automatic emergency call system, which can transmit the wrong location to emergency responders after a collision, potentially delaying help from reaching the vehicle.
