A disabled eCall system would prevent a vehicle occupant from contacting emergency services through the call center in an emergency, potentially delaying emergency responders and increasing the risk of injury.
Complaints are reports from owners of this model year, not findings about any particular vehicle, and a model that sold in large numbers will collect more of them. They are counted here as filed; nothing is inferred from them.

Failure of the eCall system may result in emergency responders being dispatched to the wrong location, increasing the risk of injury following a crash.
An oil leak in the presence of an ignition source such as hot engine or exhaust components can increase the risk of a fire.
Two 2018 MERCEDES BENZ AMG E63s can have entirely different histories, and a recall campaign usually covers a build-date window rather than a whole model year — which a VIN does not encode, so only the door-jamb label settles it. Scanning the VIN adds the decode, the crash tests, the fuel economy and the complaints matched to that exact engine, trim and assembly plant.
