What's wrong?
The Michelin tire on the 2023 Mercedes-Benz AMG CLA45 is the part that supports the vehicle, holds air pressure, and keeps the tread in contact with the road. Its bead is the reinforced inner edge of the tire that seals against the wheel rim. That seal has to stay tight so the tire keeps its pressure during driving.
On affected AMG CLA45 vehicles, a supplier production issue left irregularities in the bead area of a certain tire batch. An uneven bead can keep the tire from sealing properly against the wheel. Air can then leak out of the tire during normal use, reducing tire pressure.
The driver can be warned by a yellow warning lamp, a warning tone, and an instrument-cluster message. The message can read "Check Tires" or "Please Correct Tire Pressure."

What's the safety risk?
A sudden loss of tire air pressure can cause loss of vehicle control while driving and increase the risk of a crash. Treat a yellow tire warning lamp, warning tone, or "Check Tires" message as a reason to slow down, pull over safely, and arrange service. Repair is free at any franchised Mercedes-Benz dealer.

What happens at the repair
At the dealer, a Mercedes-Benz technician replaces the tires covered by this recall. The replacement tires and labor are free under the recall. Mercedes-Benz is not offering a separate reimbursement program because the involved vehicles are covered under the new vehicle warranty and were not previously subject to this tire condition. If you already paid for a related tire repair, ask the service desk how the warranty applies to that paperwork.
