1. 02V238000Received 9 Sep 2002. 5,532 units.

   Exterior Lighting / Tail Lights / Switch

   Defect, in the NHTSA record

   Certain heavy duty class 8 trucks fail to comply with the requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 108, "lamps, reflective devices, and associated equipment." the two tail lamps, back-up lamp,and license tag lamp were mounted on insufficiently rigid mounts.

   Consequence, in the NHTSA record

   It may not allow the driver of a rearward approaching vehicle to have full view of the lamps.

   Remedy, in the NHTSA record

   Dealers will attach the two tail lamps, back-up lamp, and the license tap lamp on stiffer brackets. Owner notification began october 31, 2002. Owners who take their vehicles to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact volvo trucks at 1-800-528-6586.

   Report filed by VOLVO TRUCKS NORTH AMERICA INC. Owner notification date in the NHTSA record: 31 Oct 2002.

2. 98V255000Received 14 Oct 1998. 95,013 units.

   Suspension / Front / Springs / Air Suspension / Lines and Fittings

   Defect, in the NHTSA record

   Vehicle description: class 8 heavy duty trucks. The air suspension control valve supply line was not plumbed through an air pressure protection valve. In the event of a failure, there would be loss of air pressure in the 'b' system air reservoir that supplies air pressure for the front steer axle brakes.

   Consequence, in the NHTSA record

   This condition would result in increased stopping distances.

   Remedy, in the NHTSA record

   Dealers will install the necessary air pressure protection valve.

   Report filed by VOLVO TRUCKS NORTH AMERICA INC. Owner notification date in the NHTSA record: 27 Nov 1998.

3. 96V095000Received 23 Mar 1996. 771 units.

   Service Brakes, Air

   Defect, in the NHTSA record

   The traction solenoid exhaust can be obstructed due to inadequate drainage and a build-up of road contamination between the mounting bracket and the solenoid housing. The obstructed exhaust prevents the relay valve control air pressure from venting after a differential braking traction event.

   Consequence, in the NHTSA record

   This condition would keep the rear axle service brakes applied without any brake pedal movement by the driver increasing the risk of a vehicle accident.

   Remedy, in the NHTSA record

   Dealers will remove the suspect valve and install a new valve that has a modified solenoid housing which will allow for sufficient drainage and a new valve mounting bracket with increased height to reduce entry of contamination.

   Report filed by VOLVO TRUCKS NORTH AMERICA INC. Owner notification date in the NHTSA record: 23 Apr 1996.

4. 95V218000Received 13 Nov 1995. 2,456 units.

   Service Brakes, Air / Controls, Pedals and Linkages

   Defect, in the NHTSA record

   Undercoating applied to the inside of the cab shell squeezed out during assembly onto the brake pedal plunger.

   Consequence, in the NHTSA record

   Undercoating on the plunger may cause the plunger to stick resulting in increased brake pedal effort and/or slow release of the brakes increasing the potential for a vehicle accident.

   Remedy, in the NHTSA record

   Dealers will clean the undercoating from the brake pedal plunger assembly, lubricate and reinstall the brake pedal plunger assembly.
