1. Recall Summary

The manufacturer Mercedes-Benz has initiated a recall of certain Actros and eActros lorries. The recall is based on a finding that some factory-fitted Michelin tyres may develop a crack along the sidewall that worsens with use. This defect can cause a sudden loss of air pressure while driving, making the vehicle unstable and harder to control. The recall is classified as a serious risk by the notifying country, Germany. The product does not comply with the Regulation on the approval and market surveillance of motor vehicles and their trailers, and of systems, components and separate technical units intended for such vehicles.
