What this recall means for you
Certain heavy-duty trucks were built or equipped with tires and rims that are not approved or rated for the vehicle by the Tire and Rim Association or the tire manufacturer. As a result, the vehicles do not meet Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 120, which covers wheels and rims on vehicles other than passenger cars.
Tires that are not rated for a vehicle can perform poorly, which increases the risk of a crash.
The repair is free. An authorized dealer will inspect the tires and rims and replace them as necessary at no charge. Owners can contact Daimler Trucks North America customer service at 1-800-547-0712, referencing recall FL-908, and should check their vehicle identification number for any open recalls.
