Service bulletin NCU-2020110009

A bulletin is a manufacturer's communication to its dealers, as NHTSA indexes it. The summary is NHTSA's. The document is the manufacturer's: read it at NHTSA. A bulletin is not a recall, and listing a model year does not mean every vehicle of it is concerned.

NHTSA's summary

Mercedes-Benz AG ("MBAG"), the manufacturer of Mercedes-Benz vehicles, has determined that on certain Model Year ("MY") 2020-2021 GLE-Class (167 platform) and GLS-Class (X167 platform) vehicles equipped with Michelin Primacy Tour A/S tires, the maximum tire pressure specified on the tire placard located on the B-pillar and on the fuel filler door is inconsistent with the maximum permissible tire pressure listed on the side wall of the tire. In this case, the requirements of FMVSS 110 might not be fulfilled. The equipped Michelin Tour A/S tires can be operated safely up to a tire pressure of 50 psi (350 kPa). Thus, operation of the tires with a tire pressure according to the tire pressure listed on the placard 46 psi (320 kPa) or according to the tire pressure specified on the tire sidewall 43 psi (300 kPa) would have no adverse safety consequences or affect the performance of the vehicle. Therefore Mercedes Benz AG intends to file a petition for "inconsequential noncompliance".
