What is being recalled
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.
Why it is dangerous
If the seat belt binds, slack may develop through occupant movement which may lead to increased personal injury in the event of a crash.
