Daimler Econic 956033 and Econic 956034 recalled over an electrical or software fault

Electrical or software fault

On affected vehicles the data record of the folding door control was overwritten incorrectly resulting in the folding door closing automatically after “ignition off” and 60 seconds. The door control is de-energised so reversing and automatic reversing functions do not work. Very high closing forces can be generated resulting in personal injury.
