Update: Mercedes AMG Recalled for Stall Defect, Crash Hazard
Mercedes is recalling the following AMG vehicles which were manufactured with a starter motor positive cable that may not have been installed correctly, potentially allowing the power supply harness wires to chafe:
- 2018-2021 Mercedes E63S AMG
- 2018-2021 Mercedes E63S AMG Wagon
- 2019-2021 Mercedes AMG GT63 4-door

“Damaged wires may cause a short circuit and result in a vehicle stall, increasing the risk of a crash,” NHTSA said. “Also, a short circuit can increase
the risk of a fire.”
This recall began on March 25, 2021.
What’s the Problem?
Mercedes is recalling certain AMG vehicles from the model year 2019 over potentially defective airbags and software components which could cause the airbags to malfunction during a crash, increasing the risk of serious bodily injury, including death.
According to the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), this recall affects:
- 2019 E53 AMG 4MATIC
- 2019 E63 AMG 4MATIC Wagon
- 2019 E63S AMG 4MATIC Wagon
The incorrect driver airbag and software version may have been installed in these vehicles, which could cause the restraint systems to not function as intended during a crash, increasing the risk of injury.
Mercedes is notifying owners of the recalled vehicles, and dealers will fix the problem free of charge. The recall is expected to begin on Feb. 4, 2020.
