Mercedes-Benz USA, LLC.
(MBUSA) is recalling certain 2019-2020 G550 4MATIC and G63 AMG 4MATIC vehicles.
An electrical resistor within the differential locking module may malfunction, interrupting communication between the control unit and the differential locking actuator, possibly resulting in the deactivation of the Electronic Stability Program (ESP) and Anti-lock Brake System (ABS) while driving.
