- A fixation nut at the end of the positive cable in the power distribution module cabin tightened with insufficient or undefined torque could come loose and leave the driver’s cab without power. This causes the engine to shut off and results in the failure of all systems powered by the engine. Only the vehicle lighting and hazard light mechanism will continue to function. The steering and service brake continue to function. However, the parking brake can no longer be applied and it is no longer possible to use the parking brake as a secondary brake. This increases the risk of an accident.

What is this? This is about some Mercedes-Benz trucks (Actros and Arocs). A small part in the driver’s cab may not be tight enough.
What's happening? If that part comes loose, the truck’s engine may shut off. Most systems will stop working, but lights and brakes still work.
Does this affect me? This affects drivers in Germany, Bulgaria, Hungary, Portugal, and Slovenia.
What should I do? Take your truck to a Mercedes-Benz dealer right away. Ask your mechanic or doctor if you have questions.
