Problem description:
Due to delivery of the wrong complete winter tyre kit, clients/garages may have installed a wheel-tyre-combination which is not authorised for the vehicles.
When driving, high loads together with high speeds could overstrain the tyres and result in inadmissible heating which could cause damage to the tyres.
The Mercedes-Benz C-Class models affected by this recall were manufactured between 13 August 2019 and 6 October 2020.

What the owner should do?
If you read about a recall that you think may affect your car, you should make immediate contact with a Mercedes Benz dealer or workshop that’s been officially authorised to perform repairs on behalf of the manufacturer and ask for the details.
If you wish to know more about eventual problems of a specific car (e.g. real mileage, potential traffic accidents damages, odometer rollback, repairs, etc.), then we suggest going to HPI-Check.
