    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.

  2. 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.

  3. 95V218000Received . 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.

  4. 94V238000Received . 1,275 units.

    Electrical System / Wiring

    Defect, in the NHTSA record
    The main electrical power harness was misrouted. If there was an electrical short in this harness, the circuit would not be fuse-protected.
    Consequence, in the NHTSA record
    A short in a misrouted power harness can create a potential for a vehicle fire.
    Remedy, in the NHTSA record
    Dealers will reroute the subject power harness and reconnect the affected wires to the correct fuse-protected power junction.

  5. 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.
