AMG GT getrag problems
We had a revocable program, transmission was changed under warranty, some of the replacements were voluntarily, and now (this year) customers are beginning to refuse to replace the transmission at the expense of the manufacturer. Tell me, did you have a similar problem in Europe with transmission on cars from 2014-2015 years old(С190)? (leakage of the gearbox oil seal )

Cars that are 14-15 years old? No AMG GT is that old yet

Ah, thanks. All this time I thought 2016 was the first model year.
Still don’t understand what the OP is saying.
An oil seal would be replaced and repaired, it would not call for the entire transmission to be replaced.

Seems like it covers only leaks, and only for 2016MY cars. Must have made a change to 2017 and later models.
But overall good news that Mercedes is doing the right thing!

Just got a new recall notice. The short of it is they have no parts and they will send me a second letter informing me when the parts are ready. But MB also indicated obviously, That there needs to be an inspection.

Your letter appears to reflect the early production vehicle issues. This could be an problem for every GT produced, only MB knows for sure. Voluntary recalls are not subject to time limits when it comes to a remedy. Manufacturers can issue a phased recall so they do not have to pay the cost to repair all affected vehicles at once. I suspect every AMG GT owner 16-18 MY will receive this letter and they are now extending the recall to 2017 MY. Next year will probably be 2018.

*Edited my post for accuracy, since it states 16-18 MY specifically. Absolutely possible and I believe likely, regardless if its a niche vehicle or not. MB is not under obligation to disclose anything. So we may never know for sure.

When it comes to liability, I agree its in the best interest of the manufacturer to remedy asap. However, a safety issue does not obligate a manufacture to act, only the NHTSA can do that. Case in point, GM and ignition problems. They knew about it and decided to act only after they were sued by a class action and were forced to remedy. Takata?... the list goes on. My point in all of this is not what is right or wrong. It is my opinion, this happens on various degrees of scale. Why would I be wrong?

If MB thought this affects MY19+, they would have said so in the letter.
