As part of our continuous product monitoring we have identified that the affected vehicles were delivered with a faulty batch of parking brake actuators the movement of which may be restricted due to dimensional inaccuracies. In this process there may be malfunctions such as the warning lamp lighting up seized or abrading rear-wheel brakes and even locking rear-wheel brakes. In the worst case there may be a risk of fire due to increased heat development.

Fix: As part of the planned recall campaign the model plates of the brake actuators on the brake calipers of the rear axle undergo a visual check. If the findings indicate this the affected brake actuators will be replaced. The replacement parts required for the recall are not expected to be available until October 2026. Please use regular replacement parts if vehicles fail in the meantime due to the above-mentioned problem.

As part of our continuous product monitoring we have identified that a defined production batch of the link rod for the upper supporting joint has not acquired the required material hardness in the production process due to insufficient inductive hardening. This may reduce the strength of the component and in extreme cases lead to fracture. Even after a fracture the brakes and steering continue to operate so that the vehicle can be driven to a safe location.However a potential fragment may end up on the roadway creating a safety risk for following traffic.

Fix: Check replace the link rod on the upper supporting joint.

Through a self-disclosure by the supplier ZF Friedrichshafen AG Daimler Truck AG was informed that there may have been a manufacturing deviation in vehicles of the models Atego 967 Actros 963 Arocs 964 and eActros 983 on the ball joints that are installed in steering components (e. g. drag links steering links tie rods). It cannot be ruled out that individual components did not fully undergo the prescribed hardening process and have therefore gotten into vehicles with insufficient material hardness. This may result in increased wear and in later phases reduced fatigue strength to the point of a possible fatigue fracture which would probably occur at low speeds with high steering forces (e.g. when maneuvering). In the event of such a fracture vehicle can no longer be steered and there would be a risk of accident.

Fix: As part of our planned recall campaign and as a precautionary measure we want to check whether insufficiently hardened components were installed in the potentially affected vehicles. Insufficiently hardened components will be replaced as part of the check.

As part of our continuous quality monitoring we have identified that in Actros 963 Arocs 964 vehicles with integral rear area and eActros 300/400 with fleece battery (absorbent glass mat) a thermal reaction may occur due to corrosion on the ACE chip (Advanced Connected Energy). Battery data can be evaluated via a Bluetooth interface using the integrated ACE chip. During assembly of the ACE chip at the supplier’s premises it is inserted into the recess provided between the battery terminals poured with resin (liquid plastic) and closed with the battery cover to protect against corrosion in a fully automated and quantity-controlled process. When filling with resin there may have been an insufficient fill level in the niche as well as an ACE chip inserted at an angle. The exposed connection points of the supply lines or the chip itself may corrode due to inadequate sealing. A corroded connection or corroded ACE chip may lead to increased electrical transitional resistance which may trigger a thermal reaction leading to a battery fire. In the worst case flames may spread to surrounding components or the vehicle. There is a risk of fire.

Fix: Check printed circuit board in on-board electrical system battery for damage. Replace on-board electrical system battery (after check) if necessary.

During assembly of the ACE chip at the supplier’s premises it is inserted into the recess provided between the battery terminals poured with resin (liquid plastic) and closed with the battery cover to protect against corrosion in a fully automated and quantity-controlled process. When filling with resin there may have been an insufficient fill level in the niche as well as an ACE chip inserted at an angle. The exposed connection points of the supply lines or the chip itself may corrode due to inadequate sealing. A corroded connection or corroded ACE chip may lead to increased electrical transitional resistance which may trigger a thermal reaction leading to a battery fire. In the worst case flames may spread to surrounding components or the vehicle. There is a risk of fire.

Fix: Check printed circuit board in on-board electrical system battery for damage. Replace on-board electrical system battery (after check) if necessary.

Through a self-disclosure by supplier ZF Friedrichshafen AG Daimler Truck AG was informed that there may have been a manufacturing deviation in Unimog 405 and 437 model vehicles on the ball joints that are installed in steering components (e.g. drag links steering links tie rods). It cannot be ruled out that individual components did not fully undergo the prescribed hardening process and have therefore gotten into vehicles with insufficient material hardness. This may result in increased wear and in later phases reduced fatigue strength to the point of a possible fatigue fracture which would probably occur at low speeds with high steering forces (e.g. when maneuvering). In the event of such a fracture vehicle can no longer be steered and there would be a risk of accident.

Fix: As part of our planned recall campaign and as a precautionary measure we want to check whether insufficiently hardened components were installed in the potentially affected vehicles. Insufficiently hardened components will be replaced as part of the check.

As part of our ongoing quality monitoring we have determined that on Actros 963 and eActros 983 vehicles the rear wheel arch cover on the front axle could fall off. A design-related plastic rib that is too high leads to a collision between the wheel arch cover and the fender. Due to the excessively high plastic rib on the rear wheel arch cover of the front axle this may be installed with preload and thus some fastening points may not be fully engaged. As a consequence the engaged fastening points of the wheel arch cover may fracture and the wheel arch cover (931 mm x 652 mm x 70 mm approx. 1.81 kg) may completely detach from the vehicle and fall off due to the dynamic load during driving operation. This may increase the risk of accidents for other road users.

Fix: As part of the recall campaign the excessively high plastic rib must be shortened on the potentially affected vehicles.

As part of our continuous quality monitoring we have identified that the vehicle-specific RDF3 (radar front end) installation height value has not been parameterized in Econic 956 Actros 963 Arocs 964 Atego 967 and eActros 983 model vehicles. Instead of the vehicle-specific installation height value a substitute value of 1 m has been entered. The substitute value is always higher than the actual installation situation. RDF3 is responsible for object recognition detecting clearance as well as close and long-range processing. It can also detect the ability to drive under and over objects which enables a radar-only reaction as part of the ABA functionality. Since the sensor value is parameterized higher than the actual installation height trucks ahead may not be detected particularly on inclines. This may lead to the fact that automatic braking by the ABA may not being triggered. Furthermore incorrect parameterization may lead to objects on the ground such as tracks manhole covers etc. being erroneously detected as obstacles causing ABA to brake the vehicle. This may increase the risk of accident.

Fix: As a permanent measure we wish to determine the installation height of the RDF3 manually and parameterize the determined value in potentially affected vehicles as part of this recall campaign.

As part of our continuous quality monitoring we have found that the leaf springs of the front axle could break on Actros 963 vehicles. The cause of the breakage may be edge corrosion due to insufficient descaling or surface defects during the rolling process. Each of the two fault profiles can cause a fracture independently of the other. The defective part analysis indicates that edge corrosion may result from scale residues not fully removed during the supplier's production run. Additionally the fault profile reveals that surface defects occurring during the rolling process—specifically near the edge—coincide with the initiation of breakage which is attributed to system malfunctions at the supplier's end. The progressive edge corrosion or the surface defects from the rolling process can lead to material fatigue in the affected area. Failure of the component or breakage at the heavily stressed points of the lower leaf spring could be the consequence. Partial component loss during driving operation cannot be ruled out. The size of a potentially lost leaf spring part depends on the individual fracture pattern. This can increase the risk of an accident.

Fix: In the scope of the recall campaign both leaf springs of the front axle must be replaced on the potentially affected vehicles as a precautionary measure.

As part of our continuous product monitoring we have found that the detection range of the monitoring sensor may be partially covered or restricted by the vehicle body or attachments (e.g. side underride guard). This condition can potentially lead to false alarms in the instrument cluster as well as to the initiation of brake control. Road users or obstacles that are in the detection range when cornering may not be detected by the safety system or may be detected with a delay which increases the risk of an accident. At present we have not been informed of any material damage or accidents connected to the aforementioned fault.

Fix: As part of the product safety recall your vehicle will undergo a visual inspection with the aim of determining whether the detection range of the monitoring sensor is restricted by the vehicle body or attachments.

As part of our continuous quality monitoring we have found that a thermal reaction may occur at the battery connection bolts of the electronically controlled power steering pump (EHPS (Electrohydraulic Power Steering)) of the trailing axle on vehicles of models eActros 983 and eEconic 956. The two battery connection points of the electronically controlled power steering pump of the trailing axle are located at the bottom in the installation position and are provided with a cover cap to protect against contact. Rain and splash water can collect in the cover cap. The water can no longer drain off due to missing drain holes. Because the battery connection points are standing in water electrochemical corrosion occurs that decomposes the bolts beyond the usual surface corrosion of the components. As a result of the corroded contact surface the transitional resistance at the terminal stud to the battery line increases and energy is released in the form of heat. Depending on the intensity and duration of the thermal reaction the battery lines and the circuit board of the electronically controlled power steering pump could ignite and in an unfavourable case flames could spread to surrounding components or the vehicle. This may increase the risk of fire. Failure of the electronically controlled power steering pump of the trailing axle has only minor effects on driving operation. There are only restrictions when reversing which however correspond to the operation of a non-steerable trailing axle. The turning circle could also be increased. However this is hardly noticeable to the driver.

Fix: As part of the recall campaign the electronically controlled power steering pump and the cover cap must be replaced on the affected vehicles.
