1. Recall Summary

The manufacturer, Mercedes-Benz, has initiated a recall of certain Actros and eActros lorries. The recall is based on a defect identified in specific factory-fitted Michelin tyres. The affected tyres may develop a crack along the sidewall that worsens with use. This condition can lead to a sudden loss of air pressure while driving, making the vehicle unstable and harder to control. The recall was notified by the manufacturer as a measure to address the risk of accidents and potential serious injuries. 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.
