Mystery Mercedes recall over refrigerants

Mercedes-Benz issued a recall for certain 2022-2023 AMG G63s and 2023 G550 SUVs in the United States due to a data mismatch during production, which resulted in the vehicles being filled with the incorrect refrigerant.

While the recall notice does not explicitly state the refrigerant used, it is likely that the SUVs were charged with R1234yf, as the reason given for the recall notice is that the refrigerant used potentially increases the risk of fire in the event of a collision.
