MBUSA Issues Recall for 135 Mercedes-AMG GT S Coupes

If you own a Mercedes-AMG GT S and feel that you’ve been missing a little power lately, no worries, it likely could be in need of a fairly simple fix from your local dealership.

According to Autoblog, MBUSA has issued a voluntary recall for 135 GT S coupes built for the 2016 model year between June 1 and July 24, 2015. At issue is a potential fault with the carbon-fiber driveshaft. More specifically, the problem stems from an adhesive bond between the driveshaft and the flange that could cause a loss of power to the rear wheels.

The good news is that no injuries have been reported due to the faulty part. But those who own one of the potentially affected GT S models will be receiving recall notices this month to see if the driveshaft needs to be replaced.

For more information, owners can call (1-800-367-6372).
