1995 Volvo ACL recalls (5)
Tap a recall to see the problem, the risk and the fix.
Suspension:front:springs:air suspension:lines and fittings
Problem: 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.
Risk: This condition would result in increased stopping distances.
Fix: Dealers will install the necessary air pressure protection valve.
Service brakes, hydraulic:foundation components
Problem: The rear most axle of the tandem axle set could have inoperable brakes on one or both wheels because the brake s-cam was incorrectly installed.
Risk: This condition could cause increased stopping distance increasing the potential for a vehicle accident.
Fix: Dealers will inspect the brake system and repair the s-cam assembly if found reversed.
Service brakes, air
Problem: 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.
Risk: 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.
Fix: 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.
Suspension:rear:springs:air suspension system
Problem: The rear suspension axle retention plate can break under normal use, affecting axle alignment.
Risk: This condition could result in loss of rear axle stability affecting vehicle directional control and increasing the potential for a vehicle crash.
Fix: Dealers will remove and replace the axle retention clip plates on affected vehicles.
Service brakes, air:controls, pedals and linkages
Problem: Undercoating applied to the inside of the cab shell squeezed out during assembly onto the brake pedal plunger.
Risk: 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.
Fix: Dealers will clean the undercoating from the brake pedal plunger assembly, lubricate and reinstall the brake pedal plunger assembly.
