- Wiring harness ground missing. Recall 20V227000 affects 149 2020 AMG GT vehicles. The emergency call communication module may lack a wiring harness ground line, leading to inaccurate vehicle location data and restricted communication with emergency call center. This may delay emergency response and increase injury risk. Dealers will repair the wiring harness free of charge.
- Headlight aim incorrect. Nine 2020 AMG GT vehicles are impacted by recall 20V775000. Headlights may be aimed too high, failing to meet Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 108.
