The EU Safety Gate rapid alert system (reference SR/02067/26) published a recall on 16 July 2026, notified by Germany. It concerns Mercedes-Benz ACTROS, AROCS, ATEGO and eACTROS lorries, models 963-0-A, 963-4-A, 963-2-A, 963-0-C, 963-4-D, 963-4-C, 963-0-D, 963-7-E, 963-4-E, 963-2-E, 963-8-G, 963-8-H, 967PKX3 and 967FWU3, built between 22 August 2025 and 28 January 2026.
The steering components (including steering rods, push rods and tie rods) may have a manufacturing defect. Some parts may not have been hardened correctly during production, which could make them wear out faster and become weaker over time. This could cause the part to break, especially when turning the steering wheel at low speeds, and the driver could lose control of the vehicle, increasing the risk of an accident.
The product does not comply with the requirements of the regulation on the approval and market surveillance of motor vehicles. The measure is voluntary and was taken by the manufacturer from 10 July 2026. The product was found on the market in Croatia by its authorities; it was also found by the authorities of France, Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Luxembourg, Norway and Sweden.
