In case you weren't aware (I couldn't find a thread here) the SLS is hit by the Takata airbag recall. The following cars are all included in the recall:

SLS AMG
2011–2014 SLS AMG,
2012 SLS AMG Cabriolet,
2013–2014 SLS AMG GT

 

I got my letter from MB 3 days ago. Stating there is nothing to do at this time and, MB will send a letter when they develop the new part.

 

I got one too, but it claims it is for just one side (driver) not the other one...

are new air bags available for the SLS from the dealer yet?

 

I haven't received anything from MB in awhile on it.

 

It's both airbags, 2 different recalls

 

2 recalls, both sides are under recalls.
