5 recalls across 4 model years
The Mercedes-Benz SL63 has 5 recalls covering 2013 through 2017 model years, with the most serious being a loss of electric power steering assist on 2013-2014 models where control unit pin connections can fail, leaving the driver with significantly heavier steering and a higher risk of losing control.
The 2017 model year has two recalls tied to the emergency call system and airbag deployment. A software fault can cause airbags to not deploy as intended in a crash, raising the risk of injury to occupants. Separately, the emergency call system on 2017 vehicles can fail to dispatch responders to the correct location after a crash, delaying emergency response.
On 2013-2015 models, a software fault in the emergency call system can cause the system to report an incorrect date, time, and vehicle location, which can also misdirect emergency responders following a crash. The 2015 model year has an additional issue where low-beam headlights on certain vehicles built during a narrow two-week window in mid-2015 may have been aimed incorrectly at the factory, reducing forward visibility at night.
