Daimler eACTROS 983 recalled over a tyre or wheel defect
On affected vehicles the cover caps are plugged onto the retaining strip of the lower profile seal of the side trim. The catch lugs of the cover caps attached to the profile seals of the side trim frame may may break unnoticed during assembly and the cap may therefore only be inserted loosely. If a cover cap is lost the profile seal might wander and be lost from the vehicle.
