Known issues on the 2005 G55 AMG. For this year the record shows two recalls and a single owner complaint, which was about the seats. One recall addressed a fuel return hose on certain vehicles that could develop microscopic cracks from flexing under pressure and let fuel escape, creating a fire hazard if the leak met an ignition source; the hoses were checked and renewed. The second covered certain trucks equipped with front turn signal grille covers that could, with time, leave the signals too faint to satisfy the federal lamp standard, and dealers fitted better-suited signal units. The manual provides the fuel hose, seat and exterior lighting procedures, specifications and wiring diagrams.
