Your car's driveshaft is like a long rod that connects your transmission to your wheels, allowing power to reach the ground. In some 2016-2018 AMG GT models, the bond between the driveshaft and the flange may not be strong enough.
Risk if Unfixed
If the driveshaft separates, you could lose power to your wheels, making it harder to control your vehicle and increasing the risk of a crash.
Free Fix
Your authorized Mercedes-Benz dealer will inspect your driveshaft and replace it if necessary, all at no cost to you. Simply schedule the repair when you get the recall notice.
