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.

This was alluded to by a member of the amggt forum. I am happy MB is making this official and taking the right steps to correct it.
It looks like this affects a very small amount of cars.

Nothing more confidence inspiring than hearing that my car's driveshaft is GLUED to another part!

If the GT-S has a carbon fiber driveshaft then my GT-L (lemon) might have the optional paper mache driveshaft. I'll check my car's options list.

That's that Mercedes quality baby!

How does a driveshaft coming apart cause one to be down a little power?

from my understanding, make sure both the 0-302 and the 628 bulletins are both fixed!

I don't think they are saying a little loss of power, rather a "loss" of all power when the bond breaks and the shaft spins free. Must be very exciting.

How did they fix the problem? More glue?

They replaced the 135 driveshafts with new ones.
