2013 Mercedes-Benz SL63 Complaints

The 2013 Mercedes-Benz SL63 has two recalls, the more serious being an electric power steering defect where the control unit can lose connection and drop steering assist, making the wheel significantly harder to turn and raising the risk of a crash.

The second recall involves the emergency call system, where a software fault causes the system's internal clock to drift from the actual date and time. If the car automatically contacts emergency services after a crash, it may transmit an incorrect vehicle location, which can slow down the response.
