Model year 2016-2017 Mercedes-Benz AMG GTS vehicles recalled

Mercedes-Benz USA (MBUSA) is recalling 659 model year 2016-2017 AMG GTS vehicles.

The bonding between the carbon-fiber driveshaft and the engine/transmission flange may be insufficient, causing the driveshaft to separate while in motion.

Separation of the driveshaft could result in a loss of drive, increasing the risk of crash.

What to do

MBUSA will notify owners, and dealers will replace the carbon-fiber draft shaft, including the flange free of charge.

The recall is expected to begin August 13, 2019.

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