Detroit, MI, August 8, 2026 —
A class action lawsuit has been filed against Mercedes-Benz in California by two drivers who allege that the metallic AMG logo on the driver’s seat causes severe burns due to overheating.
The plaintiffs claim that the design of the logo, which is intended to come into contact with the upper back, neck, or shoulder area of the driver, led to injuries. According to the lawsuit, the overheating logo left them with burns that bore the distinct shape of the AMG emblem.
