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.
