7 safety recall campaigns, 1 defect investigation, 3 owner complaints filed with NHTSA.
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.
A disabled eCall system would prevent a vehicle occupant from contacting the emergency services call center in an emergency, potentially delaying emergency responders and increasing the risk of injury.
The adhesive bonding of the front panel might deteriorate, possibly causing the front panel to detach from the vehicle and become a road hazard, increasing the risk of a crash.
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.
An impaired Active Brake Assist may not automatically apply partial or full braking as expected, increasing the risk of a crash.
If the system remains active despite the driver not having their hands on the wheel, the driver's inattention may increase the risk of crash.
Two 2019 MERCEDES BENZ AMG S63s 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.
