Daimler Truck Unimog U 5023: Measure Hardness Of Bearing Bushing On Longitudinal Frame Member For Steering Gear Bearing
Daimler Truck is recalling 6 Unimog U 5023 and U 4023 vehicles because the bearing bushing that supports the steering gear may be made from incorrect steel material, which could cause it to crack or tear off. The issue stems from a supplier manufacturing error that weakened the weld seams in this component. Affected vehicle owners need to have the bearing bushing inspected and replaced if defective.

- DAIMLER TRUCK UK LIMITED
- Product
- Vehicles: DAIMLER TRUCK Unimog U 5023, DAIMLER TRUCK Unimog U 4023. Units affected: 6
- Reason
- As part of our continuous quality monitoring we have found that the bearing bushing of the steering gear on the frame support may tear off on the specified Daimler Truck UNIMOG vehicles of the UHE and FGA models. The cause is the possible use of the wrong steel material during the manufacturing of the bearing bushing at our supplier. The use of the wrong steel material for the bearing bushing could lead to embrittlement of the weld seams and consequently tearing of the bearing bushing. Remedy: On the potentially affected vehicles the material quality of the bearing bushings must be checked...
