Plain-English summary

Mercedes-Benz USA, LLC is recalling certain 2019 AMG GT53 and AMG GT63 vehicles. In certain types of crash events, the center console may unlatch, allowing the storage compartment to open. This defect causes the vehicles to fail to comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 201, "Occupant Protection in Interior Impact."

A center console that opens during a crash can allow unsecured cargo to eject into the cabin, increasing the risk of injury. Owner notification letters were mailed on February 3, 2023.
