Daimler Truck Actros 963: Takata Air Bag Inflator Could Rupture
Recall Summary Daimler Truck is recalling 11,628 vehicles (Actros 963, Atego 967, Arocs 964, and Antos 963 models) sold in the United Kingdom because the driver's airbag inflators may rupture in certain weather conditions due to chemical changes in the propellant. The affected inflators use non-desiccated ammonium-nitrate material that can degrade over time when exposed to moisture. The remedy is to replace the driver's airbag in affected vehicles.
