MERCEDES BENZ UNIMOG ( 15/02/2008 – 27/11/2013) DEFECT: It has been established that Oil Carbon and Granulated Dust contamination could cause the ventilation function of the Shutoff and Safety Valve to be impaired. The internal air pressure of the Safety Valve can therefore increase from 18.5bar to over 40bar. This can result in the failure/rupture of the top section of the housing of the air drier cartridge. The brake system will remain operation to enable the driver to bring the vehicle to a control stop after they hear the rupture.
Remedy
Recall all affected vehicle to install a pressure limiting valve.
