Known issues on the 2005 SLK55 AMG. NHTSA recorded one recall against the 2005 SLK-Class line. Certain vehicles in that line had received incorrect software coding during a workshop visit, which could stop the electric fuel pump from getting the signal it needs to shut off after an impact; dealers recoded the affected units. Five owner complaints logged against the 2005 SLK-Class line fall mostly under engine and engine cooling and the power train, with one on hydraulic service brakes. The manual's fuel system, cooling, transmission and brake procedures cover those areas, alongside wiring diagrams and diagnostics for the control units.
