Mercedes Benz Antos: Tyre May Delaminate Due To Overheating

Mercedes-Benz is recalling approximately 140 vehicles (Antos, Arocs, Actros Range, and Axor models) because certain tyres from a specific batch may overheat and cause the tread to separate from the tyre. This tread separation could reduce vehicle control and potentially affect other road users. The remedy involves checking all tyres on affected vehicles, including spares, and replacing any tyres from the affected batch.
