It seems there will be a serious recall for 2018 and 2019 G63/GT63/E63/S63 cars (with the M177 engine):

Did not hear back from my dealer yet, but it concerns almost 10.000 cars worldwide!

Damn so where do we go from here? Do I have to reach out to someone? I put my vin number on MBUSA, and it says theres no recalls.

I received a recall notice for the oil feed lines to the turbo charger that might cause leaks and had them replaced by my dealer here in Canada. Is this the same issue here?

I wonder if this recall is for ALL or just selected ones.
Mine is 18 (Oct 2017 built) and I have no letter from MB. I had also visited dealer back in May 2020 and I asked for any TSBs or update and they checked none.

Yeah, that oil feed line was old news... good find nonetheless. I asked my dealer about it when I went in for the first oil change. To my best recollection the issue "had been addressed" in the shop. It is a scary idea to have an oil leak at the turbos given how hot they get. Would be a total loss.Originally Posted by E634Me

I just picked up a 2019 E63 CPO two weeks ago, it says the oil feed line recall was completed on March 13th 2020. For those of you who checked and saw "no ongoing recall" check if it was done in the completed section.
"Mercedes-Benz AG (?MBAG?), the manufacturer of Mercedes-Benz vehicles, has determined that on certain MY 2018-2019 E-Class (213 platform), G-Class (463 platform), S-Class (222 platform), S-Class Coupe and Convertible(217 platform), and GT-Class 4-door Coupe (290 platform) vehicles with 4.0l 8-cylinder gasoline-engines (M177), the elastomeric material of the oil feed line to the turbochargers might not meet current production specifications. Due to thermal loading while driving, the oil feed line might exhibit selective leakage. If leaked oil contacts hot components in the engine compartment the risk of fire cannot be ruled out. An authorized Mercedes-Benz dealer will replace the oil feed line to the turbocharger on the affected vehicles."

If there is a recall for the turbos then my *** might still be saved.
I thought I cooked mine, lost all boost and the car became slower then a Civic, took it yesterday to my dealer and will hear the verdict on Monday.
The catch is, my turbos are modified by Renntech (850HP) and if there were no recall I would be stuck with the repair bill, quite significant at that.
