Concern

SRL260522 – AGM-BATT – Check printed circuit board on battery for damage

Defect, as DVSA words it

As part of our continuous quality monitoring we have identified that in Actros 963 Arocs 964 vehicles with integral rear area and eActros 300/400 with fleece battery (absorbent glass mat) a thermal reaction may occur due to corrosion on the ACE chip (Advanced Connected Energy). Battery data can be evaluated via a Bluetooth interface using the integrated ACE chip. During assembly of the ACE chip at the supplier’s premises it is inserted into the recess provided between the battery terminals poured with resin (liquid plastic) and closed with the battery cover to protect against corrosion in a fully automated and quantity-controlled process. When filling with resin there may have been an insufficient fill level in the niche as well as an ACE chip inserted at an angle. The exposed connection points of the supply lines or the chip itself may corrode due to inadequate sealing. A corroded connection or corroded ACE chip may lead to increased electrical transitional resistance which may trigger a thermal reaction leading to a battery fire. In the worst case flames may spread to surrounding components or the vehicle. There is a risk of fire.

Remedy, as DVSA words it

Check printed circuit board in on-board electrical system battery for damage. Replace on-board electrical system battery (after check) if necessary.

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.

Reading this against the source

This page is what the DVSA published in its file of vehicle recalls, kept as it was read. The authority publishes only its current wording; if a notice is rewritten, the earlier version disappears there and is kept here. The whole register is at /uk-recalls, and how the reading is done is set out in the method.
