Daimler Trucks North America is recalling 49 heavy-duty vehicles, including various models of Freightliner and Western Star trucks from years 2019 through 2023. These vehicles are equipped with tires that are not compatible with their 8.25-inch rims, which violates federal safety standards for wheels and rims. To fix this safety issue, authorized dealers will replace the incompatible tires with the correct ones free of charge.
Using tires that do not match the rim size can significantly reduce tire performance and stability. This mismatch increases the likelihood of tire failure while driving, which could lead to a loss of vehicle control and a crash.
