Exclamation Driveshaft recall AMG GTS

Not sure if other have seen this but thought I would share. Has anyone had to have their car fixed for this issue?

This is interesting because my driveshaft just went out yestarday.
As i was driving after making a left turn i stepped on it hard and the car just went numb and lost power. Car went into Neutral immediately and transmission malfunction warning came on.
After towing it to the dealership they think its most likely broken driveshaft. This happen last night so they are not certain yet but most likely.
Any one else have the same issue. Car is stock with 4500 miles

Almost identical. My 2016 MY / JULY 2015 car build, 4,500 miles. No recall for my car. From a standstill, driveshaft disengaged. Local dealer replaced in two weeks time. MB was cooperative, but in no way apologetic.

Working on contacting MB USA. Two days later. No call back. I want to know why our cars were not recalled.
