Mercedes-Benz USA, LLC "MBUSA" is recalling certain 2022-2023 AMG G63 special edition 4x4" "squared" vehicles. The rear axle differential housing may develop cracks, possibly resulting in oil leaking onto the roadway or axle failure.
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.
Owners are advised not to drive their vehicles until the repair has been performed. Towing to an authorized Mercedes-Benz dealer may be necessary. Interim owner notification letters explaining the safety risk were mailed March 15, 2024. A second notice will be sent once remedy parts become available. Owners may contact MBUSA customer service at 1-800-367-6372.
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.
