    1 Aug 2018 · R/2018/156

    It has been determined that it is possible that the connectors for the transmission oil cooler lines were not pressed together in accordance with specifications. As a result the transmission oil cooler lines could work loose while driving and transmission oil could leak out. Because of a deviation in the supplier�s production process it is possible that the connectors on transmission oil cooler lines from two specific batches were not pressed together in accordance with specifications. In this case the vehicle could possibly lose propulsion due to oil loss in the transmission. The escaping oil could get onto the roadway thus increasing the risk of an accident for following traffic. Also it cannot be excluded that escaping transmission oil could come into contact with hot component parts of the exhaust system and ignite

    On certain 6 and 8 cylinder engine vehicles a faulty rear engine compartment panel/bulkhead may have been installed. It is therefore possible that the panel/bulkhead may contact the left exhaust catalytic converter due to insufficient clearance. If the catalytic converter is subjected to high temperatures due to heavy driving conditions i.e. full throttle or towing then there is a risk of the rear engine compartment panel igniting and a vehicle fire ensuing.

    Fix: Recall all affected vehicles to inspect the clearance between the rear engine compartment panel/bulkhead and the exhaust catalytic converter. If the clearance is insufficient then the rear engine compartment panel/bulkhead will be replaced.

  1437. UNIMOG · tyres may fail during 'road-railer' use

    28 Apr 2016 · R/2016/047

    On certain models with road-railer conversion it is possible that in combination with the tyres MITAS 275/90 R22.5 SRT preliminary damage to the tyres may occur due to intensive rail usage. As a result the road properties of the affected tyres may be restricted to the extent that a sudden loss of air or bursting due to heating up of the tyre during lengthy transport on the road and at high speeds cannot be ruled out. This would constitute or increase a risk of accident.

    Fix: The recall has two elements: 1. the maximum speed of the vehicle will be temporarily restricted by means of a variable parameter to 65km/h and 2. the tyre inflation pressure adapted as per sheet inserted in the operator�s Manual for the vehicle as a remedial action.

    8 Jan 2016 · R/2015/247

    The excess length of the wiring harness to the engine control unit could result in a faulty camshaft signal. This faulty camshaft signal may lead to an unintentional cancellation of the automatic starting procedure after automatic engine stop of the automatic start/stop system. In the event of a faulty camshaft signal the engine would not restart as expected following the stop procedure but can be manually restarted immediately by engaging the transmission selector lever position �N� or �D� and by operating the ignition key or the start button (with keyless go). Depending on the traffic situation however an increased accident hazard could result.

  1553. UNIMOG · air drier housing may detach

    29 Jan 2014 · R/2013/155

    It is possible due to its location that the muffler on the air drier may freeze and icing may occur. This can cause a blockage of the vent line; this in turn will cause the pressure in the air drier to rise beyond its venting pressure of 18.5 bar to in excess of 40 bar. This can result the top section of the air drier cartridge housing becoming detached. The driver should be aware of the issue due to the noise emitted and the brake system will still operate allow you to stop the vehicle safely. However the brake system could still be compromised.
