ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:WIRING
- The defect
- Mercedes-Benz USA, LLC. (MBUSA) is recalling certain 2019 AMG GT63 4MATIC and AMG GT63S 4MATIC vehicles. A wiring harness for the automatic transmission may not be properly secured, allowing it to chafe against the drive shaft and possibly cause an engine stall.
- What it can cause
- An engine stall can increase the risk of a crash.
- What the dealer does
- MBUSA will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the mounting clips and wiring harness, and repair or replace them, as necessary, free of charge. The recall began March 13, 2020. Owners may contact MBUSA customer service at 1-800-367-6372. MBUSA's number for this recall is 2020020016.
- NHTSA's note
- 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.safercar.gov.
The repair is free, whatever the age or mileage of the vehicle, and whether or not you are the original owner.
Which vehicles
A recall reaches a range of VINs inside these model years, not every car built in them. Yours may not be covered even if it is listed here, and the only way to find out is NHTSA's own VIN lookup .

How this campaign compares
At 28 vehicles this is a small campaign: 84% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published are as large or larger. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers one model year, 2019, so the oldest vehicles on it were one model year old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
Mercedes-Benz vehicles have been recalled over the electrical system 17 times before this, most recently in November 2019 as 19V820000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 7 other recalls published here, the newest being: 22V938000 (structure), 21V961000 (fuel system, gasoline), 21V217000 (electrical system), 21V058000 (electrical system).
Check your own car
A VIN check is the only answer for a specific vehicle, and it also shows every other open recall on it, which is usually the reason it is worth doing rather than reading one campaign.
Filed by Mercedes-Benz USA, LLC. with NHTSA on January 28, 2020 as campaign 20V047000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
