A grease used to lubricate mechanical components within the pressure relief device may harden in the event of prolonged exposure to high heat. Hardened grease prevents the controlled emergency venting of tanks, leading in the worst case to the gas tank exploding.

Due to incorrect parameterisation of the wheelbase, a sensing error could occur in the braking system. There is therefore a risk of delayed braking effect and thus an increased braking distance.

When the cab is tilted back, a rear bolt on one side could partially lock the cab without being properly engaged. In such a case, the driver display would not alert the driver to the fact that the cab lock was not properly engaged.

Man TGM

The safety locking ring on the rims is incorrectly fitted and may suddenly become detached. As a result, the tyre will suddenly deflate, impairing the control over the vehicle and increasing the risk of an accident.

The gas pressure regulator could break at the angle bracket and become leaky as a result. Gas could then leak through this break and form an explosive gas mixture.

The leaf spring on the front axle could break. Consequently, driving and steering behaviour could become unstable.

Man TGS, TGX

The rear left fixing nut for the cab suspension may not have been sufficiently tightened and can become detached, leading to the cab suspension mounting bolt falling out. This can affect the stability of the cab during braking or acceleration or in the event of an accident.

Due to a limited structural durability, cracks may occur on the front-axle wheel flanges. Such cracks could result in the mounting face of the rim on the front axle rupturing completely.

A defective bracket on the side-wall connection of the passenger seat could lead to the seat coming loose. In the event of an accident, a passenger wearing the seatbelt would not be sufficiently restrained. European Union 2017–2018

Drive shaft vibration may occur at speeds of over 130 km/h. This could lead to complete failure of the drive shaft. European Union 2018

Faulty expanding lock can cause the handbrake cable to bend or break. This may result in the failure of the parking brake.

The nuts on the spring clamps may be insufficiently hardened. This may lead to a loss of pre-tension force in the screw connection and subsequent breaking of the spring clamps.

The base-plate screws for the trailer-coupling may become lose because of excessive thickness of the paint under the cross-member base-plate. As a consequence, when towing a trailer, the connection may fail.

The cables for the USB sockets in the seat-backs of the passenger seats may chafe or become trapped owing to inadequately fastened connecting wires. As a result, the USB charging sockets may fail to work.

With intensive trailer use, screws attaching the trailer coupling device may become loose. This may impair stability in trailer operation and ultimately lead to the entire trailer coupling device becoming detached.

The seal ring on the high pressure gas valve of the gas pressure regulator could be damaged. The combination of high pressure and high temperature in this area could lead to the damaged seal shifting position, which could result in a leak.

Man TGS

The screw connection between the drive shaft and the transfer box was not tightened with the correct torque. This may result in the screw connection becoming completely loosened and part of the drive shaft falling off.

null In the area of the exhaust gas turbo charger, the hydraulic piping installed for the cab tilting equipment is too short, and situated too close to the exhaust gas turbo charger. The pipes could therefore be damaged by heat and/or start to leak. European Union 2016–2017

Man TGS, TGX

null The ball joint of the control drive shaft may not be correctly riveted and therefore the cardan joint can deviate to the side when the rivet comes loose. This can result in the impairment of the steering function in the form of the steering catching or being blocked.

null Due to an incorrect application of the adhesive securing the screws, the screws attaching the actuating levers of the in-swinging doors may work loose and the actuating lever of the in-swinging doors may then break. In the event of a leaning against the door and the associated force effect on the door leaf, the…
