Known issues on the 2018 SL65 AMG. Of the two recalls on record for the 2018 SL65 AMG, the one closest to the occupants concerned the front passenger air bag. On certain cars its seams may have been stitched incorrectly, letting the fabric split open as the bag inflated and reducing its protection; dealers fitted a new air bag. The other recall covered certain vehicles whose communication module software might not report the right location to the emergency call system in a crash, fixed by a software update. Procedures, wiring diagrams and diagnostics in the manual address both the restraint system and the telematics circuits.
