MERCEDES BENZ ATEGO ( 13/03/2013 – 02/02/2015) DEFECT: The ground cable lug attached to the engine mounting bolt may break as a result of vibrations and oscillations combined with the tension caused through the routing of the cable. Should this concern occur it is possible in the worst case scenario for the vehicle to become completely de-energised. This means a sudden failure of the instrument panel vehicle illumination the hazard warning system and the engine shuts down thereby increasing the risk of a collision.
Remedy
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and correct the routing of the ground line and additionally to replace the present lugs on the affected cables.
