Also covers: C63 S F1 Edition
These are issues documented for the Mercedes-AMG C63 S E Performance in general - things to check for, not a diagnosis of any particular car. Whether a specific car has one depends on its age, mileage, service history and how it was used.

Check This Vehicle Free →No Wear-Pattern Defect Yet - Too New; 4 Early NHTSA Recalls Documented
Symptoms to watch for
- Door lock: the vehicle may not register an open door correctly - a rollaway risk that may not present until the specific failure mode occurs
- Infotainment: a brief interruption in the instrument cluster display of information
- Fuse: sudden loss of drive power, or loss of critical safety functions such as restraint systems or instrument cluster
- Fuel pump: sudden loss of drive power
What To Check
None of the four recalled defects are reliably detectable on a test drive - a VIN check with Mercedes-Benz South Africa is the only reliable method for all four. This card explicitly does not claim any test-drive-detectable wear-pattern symptom, since none has been independently documented yet for this generation.
Check a specific real listing for this vehicle and see the evidence behind every documented issue - one report, only R69, once:
- 1 verified manufacturer TSB/recall reference you can check yourself
- A recommended fix or negotiation point for that issue
- A downloadable PDF report
