- Product
- Vehicles: MERCEDES BENZ BUS TOURISMO. Units affected: 94
- Reason
- The semi-trailing arms of the rear axle might not have been correctly tightened at the factory. This could lead to the arms being insecure from the connection to the skeleton. This in turn could allow the rear drive axle to also be insecure and adversely affect the stability of the vehicle. Remedy: Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and check the torque for the screwed connections of the semi-trailing arms at the skeleton end and replace connections with new ones where necessary.
