Known issues on the 2018 E43 AMG. Three recalls appear on the federal record for certain 2018 E43 AMG vehicles, two of them involving the restraints. In one, on certain vehicles, the front passenger occupant classification system might be miscalibrated so the airbag stayed active with a child seat in place, and dealers replace the seat cushion. In another, on certain vehicles, the front seat belt pretensioners and the PRE-SAFE function might fail to fire in a crash, prompting inspection of the front belt buckles and replacement as needed. The third addressed emergency call software on certain vehicles that could report the wrong location. Owners filed 10 complaints, half about wheels; 1 complaint reported a fire. Seat, restraint and wheel procedures, torque values and diagnostics are covered.
