ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:STARTER ASSEMBLY
Damaged wires may cause a short circuit and result in a vehicle stall, increasing the risk of a crash. Also, a short circuit can increase the risk of a fire.
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.
Damaged wires may cause a short circuit and result in a vehicle stall, increasing the risk of a crash. Also, a short circuit can increase the risk of a fire.
Failure of the eCall system may result in emergency responders being dispatched to the wrong location, increasing the risk of injury following a crash.
If the wheel-hub caps detach, they can become a road hazard, and increase the risk of a crash or injury for other road users.
If the ESP does not react properly to a driving situation, it may increase the risk of a crash.
In the event of a crash, if the left-rear seatback latch fails, it can increase the risk of injury.
An inaccurate vehicle location may delay emergency responders, increasing the risk of injury.
Two 2020 MERCEDES BENZ AMG GT63s 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.
