Defect Summary
Mercedes-Benz USA, LLC. (MBUSA) is recalling certain 2020 AMG GT vehicles.

Corrective Summary
MBUSA will notify owners, and dealers will repair the wiring harness of the communication module, free of charge. The recall is expected to begin June 20, 2020. Owners may contact MBUSA customer service at 1-800-367-6372.
