  1. ACTROS, AROCS, ATEGO, EACTROS, ECONIC · title of recall srl250925 – change parameters in front radar sensor (rdf) control unit – rdf-hoe

    3 Oct 2025 · R/2025/409

    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.

  3. ECONIC · the aluminium housing on the high pressure side of the gas pressure regulator may develop cracks

    23 Dec 2019 · R/2019/306

    The Natural Gas regulator may develop a crack

    Fix: Replace the gas pressure regulator on affected vehicles

    35 vehicles · built 28 Nov 2016 to 10 Jun 2019

  4. ECONIC · rear axle brake pipes may chafe on the propeller shaft when suspension is at it's lowest position

    5 Feb 2019 · R/2018/345

    Air brake pipes could be damaged by propshaft.

    Fix: Check and if required reposition repair or replace the brake pipes.

    75 vehicles · built 4 Aug 2015 to 3 Jul 2018

  5. ECONIC · electronic braking system parameters may be incorrect

    8 Nov 2017 · R/2017/266

    The High Load parameter setting of the Electronic Braking System may not have been correctly programmed. In extreme instances this may affect EBS brake application and vehicle stability.

    Fix: On affected vehicles reprogram the EBS High Load parameters.

    264 vehicles · built 21 Feb 2017 to 22 Jun 2017

  6. ACTROS, ANTOS, AROCS, ECONIC · gearshift bolt may loosen

    16 Oct 2017 · R/2017/242

    The catch bolt for the range change gearshift mechanism may work loose. This may affect gear changes and it is possible drive can be lost.

    Fix: On affected vehicles remove catch and reassemble as per work instructions.
