## What is wrong

Mercedes\-Benz USA, LLC \(MBUSA\) is recalling certain 2018 Mercedes\-Benz AMG GT Cabrio and AMG GT\-C Cabrio vehicles.  Due to a software incompatibility, in the event of a low speed crash, both stages of the frontal air bags may deploy instead of only the first\-stage deploying as intended.


## What can happen

If the air bags do not deploy as intended, it can increase the risk of injury.


## The remedy

MBUSA will notify owners, and dealers will update the air bag control unit software, free of charge.  The recall began November 2, 2018.  Owners may contact MBUSA customer service at 1\-800\-367\-6372.  MBUSA's number for this recall is 2018100008.
