Known issues on the 2009 SL600. NHTSA filed one recall against the wider 2009 SL-Class line, not the SL600 by name. It concerned certain vehicles whose software calibration was coded wrongly at a service visit, a mistake that could keep the crash signal from reaching the fuel pump, so the pump might go on supplying fuel after an impact instead of shutting off. Dealers corrected the coding. The manual's fuel system procedures and wiring diagrams, along with its diagnostics for the control units involved, cover the circuits that recall concerned.
