What's wrong, in plain English
The fuel pump in these Mercedes-AMG models may shut down on its own while the vehicle is being driven. When the pump shuts down, the engine no longer gets fuel, and the vehicle loses the power that keeps it moving. Mercedes-Benz dealers will replace the fuel pump at no charge to the owner. Owner notification letters were mailed June 14, 2024, and owners can contact Mercedes-Benz customer service to schedule the free repair.
