Daimler Trucks Unimog steering gear bearing bushing may have increased burden

Country	South Korea
Category	Automotive
Published	2025-12-15
Manufacturer	Daimler Trucks Korea Co., Ltd.
Models affected	Unimog
Units affected	51
Defect	A bearing bushing component, welded to the lower part of the frame's longitudinal member for the steering gear bearing, may have increased brittleness in the weld due to the possible use of unsuitable steel during the manufacturing process. If cracking and detachment of the steering gear bearing bushing weld occurs as a result, the steering gear may lose its fixing force, leading to steering instability and potential loss of steering control. This recall is initiated due to the confirmation of this possibility.
Component	Steering system, other
Remedy	Inspect the steering gear bearing bushing weld for damage or cracks, and perform a hardness test on the installed bushing. If any abnormalities are found, replace the bearing bushing.
