Known issues on the 2014 SL65 AMG. Two recalls name the 2014 SL65 AMG. The first concerned the air bag itself: certain cars assembled between March 19 and May 5, 2014, had a front passenger air bag put together incorrectly, so it might not open as intended, and dealers installed a replacement. The second was a software issue in which the emergency call system on certain vehicles could run on the wrong date and time and pass along a faulty location, corrected by an over-the-air or dealer update. For the air bag and communication module circuits, the manual pairs wiring diagrams and diagnostics with procedures and specifications.
