What is wrong

On certain AMG GT Black Series models, the wiring to the front wheel speed sensors may be too short. As a result, movement of the suspension or steering could cause damage to the wires. If this happens, the vehicle dynamics control system may not work properly.

Why it matters

A vehicle dynamics control system that does not work properly could increase the risk of a crash.

What the dealer will do

Mercedes-Benz will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your vehicle to a dealer to replace the wiring to the front wheel speed sensors. To minimize the safety risk, Mercedes-Benz recommends that you should drive with caution until the recall repairs have been completed, and avoid tight turns (full lock) or road conditions that may cause full suspension travel.
