Summary

Mercedes-Benz USA is recalling approximately 117 AMG E 53 4MATIC+ Wagon vehicles because the transmission wiring harness may have been incorrectly routed too close to the front driveshaft.

To address this issue, authorized dealers will inspect the harness routing and perform a free repair if necessary.
