Known issues on the 2008 G55 AMG. A lighting compliance problem is the one recall against the 2008 G55 AMG. Certain vehicles came equipped with a grille guarding the front turn signals, and that grille, while legal, could over time dull the signals until they no longer met the federal standard, which makes a turning truck harder for others to notice. Dealers responded by installing turn signal units optimized to shine through the grilles. The manual gives the front lamp removal procedures and the exterior lighting wiring diagrams and diagnostics.
