TIRES
- The defect
- Daimler Vans USA, LLC (DVUSA) is recalling certain 2016-2018 Mercedes-Benz Metris vans. The value for the maximum combined load weight capacity of the tires is incorrect. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 110, "Tire and Loading Information."
- What it can cause
- An overloaded vehicle may cause tire failure, increasing the risk of a crash.
- What the dealer does
- Dealers will install corrected labels on the B-pillar and fuel filler door. Dealers will also inspect and replace incorrect tires, as necessary. All repairs will be performed free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed beginning April 19, 2024. Owners may contact DVUSA at 1-877-762-8267. DVUSA's number for this recall is VS2LASTRE.
- NHTSA's note
- Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.nhtsa.gov.
The repair is free, whatever the age or mileage of the vehicle, and whether or not you are the original owner.
Which vehicles
A recall reaches a range of VINs inside these model years, not every car built in them. Yours may not be covered even if it is listed here, and the only way to find out is NHTSA's own VIN lookup .
How this campaign compares
At 24,359 vehicles this is a bigger campaign than 85% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers model years 2016 to 2018, so the oldest vehicles on it were 6 model years old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
Mercedes-Benz vehicles have been recalled over the tires 5 times before this, most recently in February 2021 as 21V123000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
This site holds the complaint record for all 3 model years the campaign names. Their owners have filed 183 complaints with NHTSA, 84 of them before this campaign was filed. 42 of those name the tires, the system this recall is about — a count of complaints, not of this defect. The earliest of them reached NHTSA in April 2016, 6 years before this filing.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 4 other recalls published here: 22V134000 (fuel system, gasoline), 22V099000 (back over prevention), 22V066000 (service brakes, hydraulic), 21V055000 (electrical system).
Check your own car
A VIN check is the only answer for a specific vehicle, and it also shows every other open recall on it, which is usually the reason it is worth doing rather than reading one campaign.
Filed by Daimler Vans USA, LLC with NHTSA on July 7, 2022 as campaign 22V482000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
