- Affected:
- 584
- Defect:
- Vehicle description: heavy duty class 8 trucks. the lower steering shaft may side-load the steering gear input shaft. this condition could result in non-uniform steering wheel efforts when turning the steering wheel. in addition, once the steering wheel turn is initiated, the vehicle may continue turning without returning to the straight ahead position with driver effort.
- Consequence:
- This condition can result in a loss of steering, increasing the risk of a crash.
- Correction:
- Dealers will replace the lower steering shaft. owner notification began july 19, 2001. 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.

- Affected:
- 30
- Defect:
- Vehicle description: heavy duty trucks built with a steerable auxiliary axle and equipped with certain meritor-wabco brake system two and four port relay valves. the valve may stick open when a high-pressure application is released.
- Consequence:
- When the valve sticks open, it can result in a total loss of air from either the service or the park brake system. the driver may lose braking ability under a service application, possibly resulting in a vehicle crash.
- Correction:
- Dealers will replace these valves. owner notification began august 31, 2001. 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 or meritor wabco at 800-535-5560.

- Component:
- Power train:axle assembly
- Manufactured:
- 10/22/2001 - 11/29/2001
- Affected:
- 215
- Defect:
- On certain heavy duty class 8 trucks, the forward and/or rear drive axle upper axle seat can break allowing the axle to shift out of alignment.
- Consequence:
- This could result in a loss of axle stability increasing the risk of a crash.
- Correction:
- Dealers will inspect the upper axle seat for a certain date code that is stamped on the part, and those axles will be replaced. owner notification began march 15, 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.

- Component:
- Service brakes, air:supply:check valve
- Manufactured:
- 09/02/2001 - 11/04/2001
- Affected:
- 1,814
- Defect:
- On certain heavy duty trucks equipped with meritor wabco pneumatic anitlock brake system (abs) valve packages, the assembly bolts on these valve packages were not tightened correctly.
- Consequence:
- Bolts torqued below specification will not reliably prevent air leakage at the affected abs valve package interface joints once the component begins normal vehicle operation. if air leaks develop at any of the abs valve package interface joints, brake system pressure reductions could occur during braking or normal operation with units equipped with the traction control option, potentially extending stopping distances, possibly resulting in a vehicle crash.
- Correction:
- Dealers will tighten the fasteners to the proper specification. owner notification began february 27, 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.

- Component:
- Steering:wheel and handle bar
- Manufactured:
- 04/12/2000 - 05/05/2002
- Affected:
- 2,313
- Defect:
- On certain heavy duty class 8 axle back vehicles, the telescoping steering shaft in some driving situations could bottom out and side load the steering gear input shaft whenever the adjustable steering column is adjusted to the lower position.
- Consequence:
- Over time, this condition could damage the steering gear input shaft resulting in loss of vehicle control and a vehicle crash.
- Correction:
- Dealers will install a re-designed steering shaft, which will not bottom out during vehicle operation regardless of where the adjustable steering column is positioned. owner notification began june 25, 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.
- Notes:
