Known issues on the 2013 SL63 AMG. Of the three recalls NHTSA lists for the 2013 SL63 AMG, the seat sensor is the most specific: certain cars built during a brief window might fail to detect a very light front passenger and turn that side's air bag off. Within a longer build period, certain cars have steering control units with poor solder joints that can cut power assist and create a fire risk even when parked, and certain others need an eCall date and time fix. A recall against the 2013 SL-Class line covers certain early cars filled with R1234yf refrigerant, which could ignite after a severe frontal crash. One complaint cites exterior lighting and electrics. Wiring diagrams cover each system.
