STARTER RELAY MAY BURN OUT
It has been identified that in some instances the ECM main relay and the engine starter relay have been inserted the wrong way round. This can result in the starter relay overheating and burning out.
Recalled vehicles will have the relays checked for correct location and replaced if found not to be correct.
THE EMERGENCY BRAKE MAY INADVERTENTLY APPLY
The emergency brake may inadvertently apply due to the 'Y' couplings not being to the required specification and failing.
Recall the trailers that are likely to be affected to replace the 'Y' couplings with ones of the correct specification.
BRAKING ASSISTANCE MAY BE AFFECTED
It has been identified that due to incorrect operation of the brake servo valve the effectiveness of the assistance provided could be reduced. It should be noted that the brake function remains in operation.
Recalled vehicles will have the subject valve replaced.
THE EMERGENCY BRAKE MAY INADVERTENTLY APPLY
The emergency brake may inadvertently apply due to the 'Y' couplings not being to the required specification and failing.
Recall the trailers that are likely to be affected to replace the 'Y' couplings with ones of the correct specification.
AIR CONDITIONING UNIT COVER MAY DETACH
It has been identified that under certain circumstances vibration of the AC630 unit can over time result in the air conditioning cover brackets becoming loose or breaking which could cause the cover of the unit to detach. Should this occur persons in the vicinity of the vehicle could be seriously injured.
Recalled vehicles will have the current aluminium brackets changed for those of stainless steel construction. In addition further brackets will be fitted to the unit. The manufacturer requests each affected bus operator to carry out an immediate inspection of the brackets which secure the unit cover and carry-out a replacement programme as instructed by the producer.
STEERING MAY BE INOPERABLE
The bicycle fork has been incorrectly assembled. Control may be lost.
recall affected bicycles check and reassemble fork.
LEFT HANDLEBAR GRIP DETACHED
It has been identified that the handlebar grips may detach due to insufficient fixing medium adherence. Should this defect occur control of the machine may be lost.
Recalled machines will have the handlebar grips mechanically fixed.
LOSS OF STEERING CONTROL
It has been identified that the front suspension arm ball joint retaining nuts may not have been tightened to the correct torque. This may result in a metallic noise a vibration through the steering wheel and ultimately a loss of steering control.
Recalled vehicles will have the ball joint nuts checked for tightness to the correct torque and replaced if the former is not the case.
POSSIBLE ENGINE BAY FIRE
It has been identified that as a result of a cracked piston engine damage can occur whereby oil is ejected into the engine bay and may ignite after coming into contact with hot engine components.
Recalled vehicles will be fitted with modified engine control software.
POSSIBLE ENGINE BAY FIRE AND PARKING BRAKE FAILURE
It has been identified that as a result of a cracked piston engine damage can occur whereby oil is ejected into the engine bay and may ignite after coming into contact with hot engine components. It has further been identified that the threaded portion of the brake adjuster for the parking brake may break under load due to the wall thickness being too slight. Should a failure occur the parking brake would become ineffective.
Recalled vehicles will be fitted with modified engine control software and will also have the parking brake adjuster replaced with a quality assured item.
HANDLEBARS MAY BREAK
It has been identified that due to an anomaly in the heat treatment process of the specialised alloy. The handlebars may break.
Recalled machines will have the handlebars replaced.

HANDLEBARS MAY BREAK
It has been identified that due to an anomaly in the heat treatment process of the specialised alloy. The handlebars may break.
Recalled machines will have the handlebars replaced.
SPEEDOMETER MAY READ INCORRECTLY
The speed sensor coupler may become corroded due to water infiltration which can cause the transmission of incorrect electrical signals to the speedometer resulting in incorrect speed indication.
Recall affected machines check coupler for water infiltration and condition of terminal connectors. Depending on the result of this inspection the relevant countermeasure will be applied.
POSSIBLE LOSS OF CONTROL
It has been identified that the jiffy stand spring anchor may have been constructed with a defective weld which may result in the stand not retracting as intended. In this condition control of the machine could be lost.
Recalled machines will have the jiffy stand spring anchor replaced.
STEERING MAY BE AFFECTED
Steering control maybe affected by loose cab to chassis mountings.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to check and where necessary re-torque the bolts securing the cab to the chassis.
FUEL MAY LEAK
It has been identified that under certain circumstances; cracks may develop in the fuel pump cover which in extreme cases may result in a fuel leak.
Recalled machines will be fitted with a modified fuel tank complete with fuel pump.
POSSIBLE REDUCTION OF BRAKING EFFORT
It has been identified that during production the front brake back plate retaining bolts may not have been tightened to the correct torque. Should the vehicle continue to be used in this condition the bolts may work loose and fail. In the worst case this could result in the front brake assembly detaching from the axle breaking the air line causing a loss of braking effort at the affected wheel station and an increase in stopping distance.
Recalled vehicles will have the subject bolts checked for correct torque. If found not to be at the correct torque the bolts will be checked and replaced as necessary.
FUEL MAY LEAK
It has been identified that a batch of high pressure fuel injection pumps supplied as spare parts may not have been manufactured to specification. As a result a fuel leak may occur.
Recalled vehicles will have the subject fuel injection pumps changed.
SEATBELT WARNING BUZZER MAY NOT SOUND
It has been identified that due to the installation of incorrect software the seatbelt warning buzzer may not sound when the seatbelts are not engaged.
Recalled vehicles will have the current software upgraded.
SEATBELT WARNING BUZZER MAY NOT SOUND
It has been identified that due to the installation of incorrect software the seatbelt warning buzzer may not sound when the seatbelts are not engaged.
Recalled vehicles will have the current software upgraded.
STEERING COLUMN WELD NOT TO SPECIFICATION
The bracket mounting the steering column to the body may fail because of inadequate welding on the joint at the tube. This can cause the column to tilt down and limited the degree of steering ability.
Recall the replacement steering columns that have been sold and the replacement steering columns that are in stock.
STEERING COULD BE IMPAIRED
It has been established that the service life of the ABC (Active Body Control) suspension lower ball joint on the front suspension struts does not meet Mercedes-Benz strict quality requirements. In cases of extreme loads the joint could fail which could possibly result in the vehicle losing directional control. Reports of this issue have only occur on very high mileages vehicle which have had been subject to use in rough conditions.
Recall all affected vehicles to check the ball joint on the front suspension struts and replace the ball joints where necessary.
POSSIBLE ENGINE BAY FIRE
It has been identified that on subject vehicles the engine cooling fan module could under certain operating conditions develop a short circuit caused by water intrusion. This in rare circumstances could result in an engine bay fire.
Recalled vehicles will be fitted with a water shield and a cable harness with a relay in order to control the engine cooling fan module power supply.
