What's wrong, in plain English

On some Mercedes-Benz G550 and AMG G63 vehicles, the front axle wiring harness may chafe against an oil cooler and become damaged over time. If this wiring is damaged, it can cause a loss of the vehicle's anti-lock braking system and electronic stability control system. When these systems stop working, the vehicle no longer has this protection, which can increase the risk of a crash occurring.

1) Check your VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls. 2) Contact a Mercedes-Benz dealer, or call MBUSA customer service at 1-800-367-6372. 3) The repair is free.

Where do I find my VIN, and what do I tell the dealer?
