NHTSA recall 20V090000
Electronic Stability Control (Esc), Power Train, Service Brakes, Hydraulic · Mercedes-Benz USA, LLC
Details
What's wrong: Mercedes-Benz USA, LLC. (mbusa) is recalling certain 2019-2020 G550 4matic and G63 amg 4matic vehicles. An electrical resistor within the differential locking module may malfunction, interrupting communication between the control unit and the differential locking actuator, possibly resulting in the deactivation of the electronic stability program (esp) and anti-lock brake system (ABS) while driving.
Why it matters: Deactivation of the vehicle stability control system or anti-lock brakes may increase the risk of a crash.
The fix: Mbusa will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the differential locking modules and replace them as necessary, free of charge. The recall began August 21, 2020.
