Known issues on the 2012 S63 AMG. Two recalls apply to certain 2012 S63 AMG vehicles, each confined to a specific stretch of production. The first concerns the fuel filter: its flange, weakened by an irregularity in molding, could split when hot and let fuel out, creating a fire risk, and the filter was replaced. The second involves the tire pressure monitor, whose warning lamp might light for too short a time and fail to reappear after the engine was restarted, which dealers corrected by reprogramming. One complaint about the power train was logged against the 2012 S-Class line. Fuel system and tire pressure diagnostics are covered with wiring diagrams.
