Lorry Mercedes-Benz “Actros, Arocs” — risk: injuries
Published in the Safety Gate weekly report: · Ref. A12/01368/21
Summary
Faulty locking rings may cause therings and the affected mounting bushes to be lost. In the worst-case scenario, it cannot be ruled out that the drive shaft may become detached. In such a case, the loose end of the drive shaft could damage the surrounding installation space. The loss of other components can therefore not be ruled out.
A Safety Gate alert means that national authorities found a serious or relevant risk and took measures. The same product may also be sold under other names or online.
