Power train:automatic transmission

Risk: Unintended movement of the vehicle could put persons in danger inside and outside the vehicle.
Fix: Volvo trucks will notify its customers and install an additional air operated stop light switch and the necessary wiring changes. Owner notification is expected to begin during september 2003.
