Motor Distributors Limited is conducting a voluntary recall for specific models of Mercedes-Benz vehicles, including ACTROS, AROCS, ATEGO, and EACTRO. The recall is due to manufacturing errors in the steering components, which may have reduced fatigue strength or could break. If a component fails, it could result in a loss of steering control, increasing the risk of accidents.
In total, 95 vehicles produced between 22 August 2025 and 28 January 2026 are affected in the Republic of Ireland. Additionally, there are 23 vehicles specifically impacted by a defect in the ball joints used in the steering components, which may not have undergone the full hardening process. This could lead to increased wear and potential fatigue fractures, particularly during low-speed maneuvers.
Daimler Buses GmbH will directly contact all affected customers to arrange appointments with local dealers or authorized repairers for necessary repairs. If you believe your vehicle may be impacted, you can reach out to Daimler Buses GmbH via email for further assistance.
