⚠️ What's wrong
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.
