Vehicles Affected: Approximately 660 model-year 2016-17 Mercedes-AMG GT S coupes
The Problem: The bonding between the carbon-fiber driveshaft and the engine/transmission flange may be insufficient, causing the driveshaft to separate while in motion and a subsequent loss of drive, increasing the risk of a crash.
The Fix: Dealers will replace the carbon-fiber driveshaft, including the flange, for free.
What Owners Should Do: Mercedes-Benz will begin notifying owners Aug. 13. Owners can call the automaker at 800-367-6372, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration’s vehicle-safety hotline at 888-327-4236 or visit its website to check their vehicle identification number and learn more.
