## What is wrong

Mercedes\-Benz USA, LLC. \(MBUSA\) is recalling certain 2016\-2017 AMG GTS and 2017 AMG GT vehicles.  The bonding between the carbon\-fiber driveshaft and the engine/transmission flange may be insufficient, causing the driveshaft to separate while in motion.


## What can happen

If the driveshaft separates, there may be a loss of drive, increasing the risk of crash.


## The remedy

MBUSA will notify owners, and dealers will replace the carbon\-fiber draft shaft, including the flange, free of charge.  The recall began November 4, 2019.  Owners may contact MBUSA customer service at 1\-800\-367\-6372.  MBUSA's number for this recall is 2019090018.
