Problem Mercedes-Benz USA, LLC (MBUSA) is recalling certain 2021 AMG GT Black Series vehicles. The wiring harness for the front wheel speed sensor may be the incorrect length, which could result in damage to the harness during certain driving conditions.

Two numbers, one recall

Every safety recall carries two identifiers. 2022020019 is the number Mercedes-Benz assigned in its own system: it is what appears on the owner letter, on the dealer’s service screen and on the repair order. 22V042000 is the number NHTSA filed the same recall under when the manufacturer reported it, and it is the one every federal record, this site included, is keyed on.

The repair is free by federal law for vehicles up to fifteen years old. Whether one particular vehicle is included is settled by its VIN against the manufacturer’s build list, not by its model year.

Check one specific vehicle

Both lookups check a VIN against the manufacturer’s own list and say whether the repair is still outstanding on that vehicle.
