Recall 2024100002 for my 2019 Mercedes-AMG GT 53 is listed as “Completed” in the manufacturer’s system, but the dealer’s service record from November 2024 clearly states that the recall part was on backorder and the repair was not performed. There is no later record of the recall ever being completed. After the recall was marked “Completed,” multiple paid repairs were performed in the same system, including extensive electrical and engine-related work, totaling several thousand dollars. Warning messages and check-engine lights continued to appear, and the underlying issue was never properly resolved. The dealer repeatedly cleared fault codes and performed symptom-based repairs without identifying or correcting the cause. In 2025, the dealer also presented a very high repair estimate related to the same components affected by the recall. This raises concerns that safety-related repairs may have been converted into paid work while the recall remained incomplete. The vehicl

The steering column sticks in the up position. The electric motor will not move up or down. Not being able to correctly adjust the height of the steering column is a safety issue.
