NHTSA's campaign record, quoted as published
The defect
Mercedes-Benz USA, LLC (MBUSA) is recalling certain 2021 AMG GT Black Series vehicles. The wiring harness for the front wheel speed sensor may be the incorrect length, which could result in damage to the harness during certain driving conditions.
The risk
A damaged speed sensor wiring harness can impair dynamic control functions, such as stability and traction control, and anti-lock brakes, increasing the risk of a crash.
The remedy
Dealers will replace the wiring harness, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed March 18, 2022. Owners may contact MBUSA customer service at 1-800-367-6372.
Notes
Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.nhtsa.gov.
A safety recall is issued when a manufacturer or NHTSA determines that a vehicle has a safety-related defect or does not comply with a federal motor vehicle safety standard. Recall repairs are free. Whether a specific vehicle is covered depends on its VIN — a recall listed for a model year does not necessarily apply to every vehicle of that year.
