Daimler Truck recalls

As part of our continuous product monitoring we have identified that due to insufficient contact pressure from the front turn signal indicator socket inside the headlamp unit loss of contact may occur during driving operation. As a consequence of the loss of contact thermal damage may occur on the sockets' contact surfaces which may cause the turn signal indicator to fail. There is currently no information on damage or accidents that are connected to the fault profile mentioned.

Fix: As part of the planned product safety recall the bulb holders of the turn signal lamps of both main headlamps on the potentially affected vehicles will be checked and replaced if found to be defective.

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.

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).

At Mercedes-Benz we constantly monitor our products to ensure the highest quality and safety. The tyre supplier Michelin notified Daimler Truck AG as part of a voluntary declaration that a circumferential crack in the tyre sidewall may occur on your vehicle with 355/50 R 22.5 Michelin X MULTI Z and X LINE ENERGY Z type truck tyres. Vehicles that have been equipped with potentially affected Michelin tyres should therefore be checked.

Fix: As part of our planned recall campaign we will check the tires on potentially affected vehicles as a precautionary measure. Affected tires are then directly reported to Michelin and replaced.

As part of our continuous product monitoring we have found that the detection range of the blind spot assist 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. Road users or obstacles that are in the detection range during cornering may not be detected by the safety system or may be detected with a delay which increases the risk of accidents. There is currently no information on damage or accidents that are connected to the fault profile mentioned.

Fix: The blind spot assist will be checked

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 found that the bearing bushing of the steering gear on the frame support may tear off on the specified Daimler Truck UNIMOG vehicles of the UHE and FGA models. The cause is the possible use of the wrong steel material during the manufacturing of the bearing bushing at our supplier. The use of the wrong steel material for the bearing bushing could lead to embrittlement of the weld seams and consequently tearing of the bearing bushing.

Fix: On the potentially affected vehicles the material quality of the bearing bushings must be checked and the component must be replaced in the event of abnormalities.

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.

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.

Fix: Replace the plugged-in cover caps with screwed-on cover caps

Daimler Truck AG was informed that the thread flanks of the right mounting support of the 9 t front axle bolted to the axle housing on Actros 963 and eActros 983 vehicles are not sufficiently formed. As a consequence the threaded connection of the right mounting support to the axle housing is not permanently ensured.

Fix: Replacement of mounting support.

The rear wheel arch panel of the wheel arch cover on the front axle may not be fully engaged on Actros 963 vehicles. Due to incorrectly executed geometry by the supplier three out of five clips of the wheel arch panel could come loose. As a consequence the remaining correctly executed mounting clips and the lower screw point may fail and the wheel arch panel may detach completely from the vehicle and fall off. This may increase the risk of an accident for the following traffic.

Fix: As part of the recall campaign the wheel arch panels must be replaced on the potentially affected vehicles.

On affected vehicles the frequency and synchronization tests of the control unit (SSAM) are overly sensitive this may cause the SSAM to reset unexpectedly. If such a fault occurs while the vehicle is in operation it could result in the failure of critical systems such as the headlights taillights turn indicators position lights licence plate lights and windscreen wipers.

Fix: Update vehicle control unit (SSAM) software.

Actros 963 and Arocs 964 models depending on the model designation up to two screws per installed axle bearing bracket may be missing. The axle bearing bracket guides the rear axle in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle. Spontaneous failure of the threaded connection can be ruled out. According to the Development department’s assessment loosening of the installed screws is possible at the earliest after approx. 600000 km.

Fix: As part of the recall action it must be checked whether all specified threaded connections are present on the axle bearing brackets on the potentially affected vehicles. If not the missing threaded connections must be retrofitted and tightened to the specified torque.

The electrohydraulic power steering pumps (EHPS) may fail on eActros 983 and eEconic 956 model vehicles. Due to insufficient anti-corrosion protection at the electrical connections and production tolerances the electrohydraulic power steering pumps may fail. If both electrohydraulic power steering pumps at the front axle fail the steering forces suddenly and significantly increase as soon as the second electrohydraulic power steering pump fails.

Fix: Replace the electrohydraulic power steering pumps with optimized electrohydraulic power steering pumps as a precautionary measure on the potentially affected vehicles.

The retrofitted DVS camera / sensor wiring harness along the chassis/cab frame may have been carried out incorrectly. As a result of an incorrectly installed DVS retrofitting scorching damage could occur in the area of the transition from the frame to the cab (swan neck) due to chafing of the wires. Depending on the nature of the damage / or level of chafing the possibility of a vehicle fire cannot be ruled out.

Fix: As part of the planned field measure we will check the DVS retrofit was carried out on behalf of DTUK as to whether the retrofitting of the cables was carried out in accordance with the specifications in WIS and the Bodybuilder Guideline and therefore if the chassis/cab frame wiring harness is still routed correctly.
