STRUCTURE:CRITICAL FASTENERS
- The defect
- Mercedes-Benz USA, LLC (MBUSA) is recalling certain 2019 AMG GT53 and AMG GT63 vehicles. In certain types of crash events, the center console may unlatch, allowing the storage compartment to open. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 201, "Occupant Protection in Interior Impact."
- What it can cause
- A center console that opens during a crash can allow unsecured cargo to eject into the cabin, increasing the risk of injury.
- What the dealer does
- Dealers will replace the front center console storage compartment, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed February 3, 2023. Owners may contact MBUSA customer service at 1-800-367-6372. MBUSA's number for this recall is 2023010008.
- 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.nhtsa.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 .
| Vehicle | Model years | Safety record |

How this campaign compares
At 11 vehicles this is a small campaign: 91% 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 3 model years old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
Mercedes-Benz vehicles have been recalled over the structure 30 times before this, most recently in September 2022 as 22V680000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 9 other recalls published here, the newest being: 24V445000 (electrical system), 22V533000 (electrical system), 21V961000 (fuel system, gasoline), 21V217000 (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 December 16, 2022 as campaign 22V938000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
