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.

96V095000Received . 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: .
94V038000Received . 3,768 units.
Steering / Steering Wheel/Handle Bar
- Defect, in the NHTSA record
The brackets that attach the steering column assembly to the cab structure cracks at the "v" notch in the bracket.
- Consequence, in the NHTSA record
Failure of the bracket may cause the steering column assembly to fall, which may result in loss of steering control and an accident.
- Remedy, in the NHTSA record
Volvo GM will replace the suspect brackets with a newly designed bracket.
