2019 Mercedes-Benz AMG GT 63, Mercedes-Benz AMG GT53: Latches/locks/linkages recall
NHTSA campaign 22V938000 · 11 units potentially affected · filed Dec 16, 2022
What's wrong
Mercedes-Benz USA, LLC (MBUSA) is recalling certain 2019 AMG GT53 and AMG GT63 vehicles. In certain types of crash events, the center console may unlatch, allowing the storage compartment to open. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 201, "Occupant Protection in Interior Impact."
Why it matters
A center console that opens during a crash can allow unsecured cargo to eject into the cabin, increasing the risk of injury.
The fix
Dealers will replace the front center console storage compartment, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed February 3, 2023. Owners may contact MBUSA customer service at 1-800-367-6372. MBUSA's number for this recall is 2023010008.
Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.nhtsa.gov.
