Mercedes-Benz USA (MBUSA) is recalling 172 model year 2021 AMG GT Black Series vehicles.

The automobile manufacturer said the wiring harness for the front wheel speed sensor may be the incorrect length.

The company noted this could result in damage to the harness during certain driving conditions.

According to MBUSA, a damaged speed sensor wiring harness can impair dynamic control functions, such as stability, traction control, and anti-lock brakes, increasing the risk of a crash.

In connection with what to do in correcting the error, the company said dealers would replace the wiring harness free of charge.

Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed March 29, 2022.

Affected owners may contact MBUSA Customer Service on (800) 367-6372.

Likewise, Audi has recalled various vehicles, totaling 31,058 with alignment issue, as the affected vehicles may suffer premature or uneven tyre wear.

Audi is recalling the following vehicles:

Model year 2019-2021 Audi A5 Sportbacks, RS5 Coupes, RS5 Sportbacks, and S5 Sportbacks;

Model year 2020-2021 A4 Allroads, A4 Sedans, A5 Cabriolets, A5 Coupes, A6 Allroads, A6 Sedans, A7s, A8s, Q5s, S4 Sedans, S5 Coupes, S5 Cabriolets, S6 Sedans, S7s, S8s, and SQ5s; and

Model year 2021 Q5 Sportbacks, Q7s, Q8s, RS6 Avants, RS7s, RSQ8s, SQ5 Sportbacks, SQ7s, and SQ8s.

The rear axle alignment may not have been inspected after the repairs for an earlier recall were performed.

Rear-axle misalignment may cause premature or uneven tire wear, increasing the risk of a crash.

On what to rectify the fault, the company stated that dealers would inspect the rear axle, adjust the alignment if necessary, and replace any prematurely or unevenly worn tyres free of charge.

Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed March 25, 2022.
