Daimler Truck Actros 963: Srl260624 – Leschusta – Check Drag Link
Recall Summary Daimler Truck is recalling approximately 1,473 Actros 963 and Arocs 964 vehicles in the United Kingdom because certain ball joints in the steering system may not have been properly hardened during manufacturing. These insufficiently hardened components could wear faster and potentially break during heavy steering maneuvers like parking, which could make the vehicle impossible to steer. Affected vehicle owners will have their steering components inspected and any defective parts will be replaced.
