What's recalled

Component: Powertrain / transmission (driveline, differential unit)

Mercedes-Benz USA, LLC (MBUSA) is recalling certain 2022-2023 AMG G63 special edition 4x4² (squared) vehicles. The rear axle differential housing may develop cracks, possibly resulting in oil leaking onto the roadway or axle failure.

The risk

Oil leaking onto the roadway may cause a road hazard for following traffic. Rear axle failure can result in a sudden loss of handling or drive power. Either of these conditions can increase the risk of a crash.

The remedy and its status

Owners are advised not to drive their vehicles until the repair has been performed. Towing to an authorized Mercedes-Benz dealer may be necessary. Owner notification letters were mailed on June 28, 2024. Owner notification letters will be mailed in phases, on June 28, 2024, August 9, 2024, August 23, 2024, and September 25, 2024. Owners may contact MBUSA customer service at 1-800-367-6372. MBUSA's number for this recall is 2024040012/050005. This recall expands and replaces previous recall number 22V-937. Vehicles previously repaired under recall 22V-937 will need to have the new remedy completed.

Status: NHTSA lists Jun 28, 2024 as the owner-notification date for this campaign.
