Details

What's wrong: Mercedes-Benz USA, LLC. (mbusa) is recalling certain 2016-2017 amg gts and 2017 Amg GT vehicles. The bonding between the carbon-fiber driveshaft and the engine/transmission flange may be insufficient, causing the driveshaft to separate while in motion.

Why it matters: If the driveshaft separates, there may be a loss of drive, increasing the risk of crash.

The fix: Mbusa will notify owners, and dealers will replace the carbon-fiber draft shaft, including the flange, free of charge. The recall began November 4, 2019.
