The problem
Mercedes-Benz USA, LLC. (MBUSA) is recalling certain model year 2018 Mercedes-Benz AMG GT, AMG GT R, AMG GT C and AMG GT S vehicles. The seat belts may bind within the guidance loops possibly causing slack in the seat belts.
The risk
If the seat belt binds, slack may develop through occupant movement which may lead to increased personal injury in the event of a crash.
The fix
MBUSA will notify owners, and dealers will reconfigure the seat belt guides, free of charge. The recall began March 30, 2018. Owners may contact MBUSA customer service at 1-877-496-3691. MBUSA'S number for this recall is 2017120018.
