What’s wrong with it?
A damaged speed sensor wiring harness can impair dynamic control functions, such as stability and traction control, and anti-lock brakes, increasing the risk of a crash.
Mercedes-Benz USA, LLC (MBUSA) is recalling certain 2021 AMG GT Black Series vehicles.
The wiring harness for the front wheel speed sensor may be the incorrect length, which could result in damage to the harness during certain driving conditions.
