Mercedes-Benz USA (MBUSA) is recalling 2,518 model year 2018-2019 E63 AMG 4MATICs, E63S AMG 4MATIC Wagons, S63 AMG Cabrio 4MATICs, S63 AMG Coupe 4MATICs & S63 AMG 4MATICs, and model year 2019 G63 AMG 4MATICs, AMG GT63 4MATICs and AMG GT63S 4MATICs with 4.0L 8-cylinder gasoline turbocharged engines.

The oil feed line to the turbocharger may leak.

An oil leak in the presence of an ignition source such as hot engine or exhaust components can increase the risk of a fire.

What to do

MBUSA will notify owners, and dealers will replace the oil feed line to the turbocharger free of charge.

The recall is expected to begin March 27, 2020.

Owners may contact MBUSA customer service at (800) 367-6372.
