Mercedes-Benz Australia is recalling 183 examples of its AMG GT sports car due to a manufacturing defect that may cause the driveshaft to detach.
This recall affects AMG GT and GT S models produced from 2015 to 2017.
“Due to a manufacturing defect, the bonding between the driveshaft and the engine/transmission flange may not be secured as intended,” said the company in its recall notice.
“This could cause the connection to detach and result in a loss of vehicle power.”
