2017-18 Mercedes-AMG A217 S 63 Cabriolet: Active Lane Keeping Assist
In October 2018, recall campaign RC2567 was issued for Mercedes-AMG A217 S 63 Cabriolets that were available for sale in Australia from 4 November 2017 to 23 February 2018. Camera software could malfunction such that the brakes would not be applied for the Active Lane Keeping Assist function in the case of an inadvertent lane change at speeds over 105 km/h. Steering wheel vibrations, however, would still warn of the lane change. Since the collision prevention function of the Active Lane Keeping Assist system was reduced, the risk of a collision was increased. For the VINs of the recalled vehicles, please see PRA 2018/17093.
2018-19 Mercedes-AMG A217 S-Class Cabriolet: oil lines could leak
In March 2020, recall campaign RC2764 was issued for Mercedes-AMG A217 S-Class Cabriolets that were available for sale in Australia from 1 August 2018 to 30 April 2019. In these vehicles, materials used in the oil lines may not meet the correct specifications – this could result in oil leakages while the vehicle was in operation. If a leak occurred, oil could come into contact with hot components of the vehicle and cause a fire – this posed a risk of serious injury to vehicle occupants and other road users. For the VINs of the recalled vehicles, please see PRA 2020/18261.
