Mercedes-Benz bulletin LI40.10-P-061032
Mercedes-Benz filed this with NHTSA as a service bulletin dated May 15, 2026, received Sep 10, 2018, about the wheels — 2 documents under this number. It names 131 model years (2016–2026). A service bulletin is not a safety recall: it is the manufacturer telling its dealers how to diagnose or repair a condition, and whether the work is paid for depends on the warranty in force. Quoting the number at a service desk can save a diagnosis.
What the bulletin says

Cause Driving with summer tires in combination with low outside temperatures. At low outside temperatures or in wet conditions, a noise may be produced at the outer wheel on the front axle while maneuvering with sharp steering angles.
