MERCEDES BENZ ATEGO ( 19/11/2013 – 19/11/2013) DEFECT: It is possible that during constructions the wiring harness for the frame may have been installed under tension. This can cause damage to the ribbon feeder for the clock spring connection for the steering wheel controls and air-bag. This will normally result in minor issue with the steering wheel electronic controls which will warn the driver of the issue. However in the extreme it could result in an electrical short circuit which can cause the premature deployment of the steering wheel air bag.
Remedy
Recall all affected vehicles to check the routing of the harness and fit an additional earth link.
