Recall Details
Concern :	TYRES MAY FAIL DURING 'ROAD-RAILER' USE
Description :	On certain models with road-railer conversion, it is possible that in combination with the tyres MITAS 275/90 R22.5 SRT preliminary damage to the tyres may occur due to intensive rail usage. As a result, the road properties of the affected tyres may be restricted to the extent that a sudden loss of air or bursting due to heating up of the tyre during lengthy transport on the road and at high speeds cannot be ruled out. This would constitute or increase a risk of accident.
Remedial Action :	The recall has two elements: 1. the maximum speed of the vehicle will be temporarily restricted by means of a variable parameter to 65km/h and 2. the tyre inflation pressure adapted as per sheet inserted in the operator’s Manual for the vehicle as a remedial action.
