Actually, what is planned is to make vehicles able to repair themselves. You'll simply have to jump to a repair station(just like a gunner station) for a given amount of time and you'll be able to repair stuff like tires and treads. Being in repair mode will make you extremely vulnerable to getting killed so you don't want to do it while under fire.
