MERCEDES BENZ UNIMOG ( 20/07/2011 – 17/09/2013) DEFECT: It is possible due to its location that the muffler on the air drier may freeze and icing may occur. This can cause a blockage of the vent line; this in turn will cause the pressure in the air drier to rise beyond its venting pressure of 18.5 bar to in excess of 40 bar. This can result the top section of the air drier cartridge housing becoming detached. The driver should be aware of the issue due to the noise emitted and the brake system will still operate allow you to stop the vehicle safely. However the brake system could still be compromised.
Remedy
Recall all affected vehicle and reposition air drier muffler.
