MERCEDES BENZ AROCS ( 18/12/2013 – 25/01/2016) DEFECT: The electrical lines and/or compressed air lines may chafe through in the area of the second axle. When the electrical wires are abraded the wire can short and illuminate appropriate warning lamps in the cab. It is also possible though much less likely for the air line to the spring brake to abrade and eventually release sufficient air for the spring brake to apply and lock the rear axle. The service brake line is protected.
Remedy
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and correct the routing of the wiring harness. Replace the possibly chafed sensor and/or compressed air lines.
