Concern
SRL250617 – Check electrical connection of the electric power steering pump for trailing axle – SCHKAEHPS2
Defect, as DVSA words it
A thermal reaction may occur at the battery connection bolts of the electronically controlled power steering pump (EHPS (Electrohydraulic Power Steering)) of the trailing axle on vehicles of models eActros 983 and eEconic 956. The two battery connection points of the electronically controlled power steering pump of the trailing axle are located at the bottom in the installation position and are provided with a cover cap to protect against contact. Rain and splash water can collect in the cover cap. The water can no longer drain off due to missing drain holes. Because the battery connection points are standing in water electrochemical corrosion occurs that decomposes the bolts beyond the usual surface corrosion of the components. As a result of the corroded contact surface the transitional resistance at the terminal stud to the battery line increases and energy is released in the form of heat. Depending on the intensity and duration of the thermal reaction the battery lines and the circuit board of the electronically controlled power steering pump could ignite and in an unfavourable case flames could spread to surrounding components or the vehicle. This may increase the risk of fire. Failure of the electronically controlled power steering pump of the trailing axle has only minor effects on driving operation. There are only restrictions when reversing which however correspond to the operation of a non-steerable trailing axle. The turning circle could also be increased. However this is hardly noticeable to the driver.
Remedy, as DVSA words it
As part of the recall campaign the cover caps on the affected vehicles must be replaced with cover caps with a water drain hole and the battery terminal studs must be cleaned and sealed with corrosion protection spray.
What changed since we first read it
Nothing yet. The wording has been the same on every read since 4 September 2026. The file is read again every day; if DVSA rewrites the defect, remedy or concern, the old and new text will appear here with both dates.
The same recall in other registers
No match found in the American, Canadian or European registers by manufacturer reference. A recall can exist abroad under a different reference; this site only claims a match when the reference agrees.
