What's wrong?
The tire label on a 2019 Mercedes-Benz A 220 is the placard that tells an owner or service desk the correct tire information for the vehicle. It includes information such as tire pressure, which matters when tires are inflated, checked, replaced, or matched to the rims. The certification label is a separate required label that confirms vehicle compliance information.
In this recall, the problem is missing information, not a broken tire or rim. Because of a production process deviation, certain required labels were not properly installed before some vehicles left the plant. Without the tire placard, an owner or technician lacks the normal factory reference for correct tire pressure and tire selection.
There is no warning sign before the missing label is found. The vehicle does not give an alert for this condition, so the issue is confirmed by inspecting the labels on the vehicle.
Who's affected?
Both listed components point to the same tire label part, so the scope is about label information rather than a separate tire hardware defect.

Not every 2019 Mercedes-Benz A 220 sedan is on the list. Check your VIN to confirm whether your specific sedan is included.
What's the safety risk?
Incorrect tire pressure information can lead an owner or service shop to inflate the tires to the wrong pressure. That can overload the tires and increase the risk of a crash. There is no advance warning from the vehicle before this labeling problem affects tire pressure decisions. Repair is free at any franchised Mercedes-Benz dealer.
What should I do?

- Contact a franchised Mercedes-Benz dealer to schedule the free label inspection and label application that restores the missing tire-pressure information.
- Bring the recall notice if Mercedes-Benz mailed one. If not, reference recall number 20V753 when you call.

What happens at the repair
At the dealer, a Mercedes-Benz technician inspects the 2019 A 220 for the required tire and loading information labels, including tire pressure information, and applies any missing labels. The inspection and label work are free under the recall. Out-of-pocket repairs already paid are handled through the new vehicle warranty, not through a separate reimbursement program, because the involved vehicles remain covered by that warranty. Ask the service desk how warranty coverage applies if you have prior repair paperwork.
