2007 VOLVO VT Recalls (9)

Campaign:
06V099000 on 04/03/2006
Component:
Steering:gear box:shaft sector
Manufactured:
01/22/2006 - 03/16/2006
Affected:
2,137
Defect:
On certain heavy duty class 8 trucks equipped with dana steering shafts, there is a potential that the steering shaft pinch bolt hole may be incorrectly located. the pinch bolt fits into a groove in the steering gear input shaft to ensure that the steering shaft does not separate from the steering gear if the pinch bolt comes loose.
Consequence:
This could potentially lead to steering shaft separation resulting in loss of control of the vehicle if the pinch bolt were to come loose increasing the risk of a crash.
Correction:
Dealers will inspect the steering shaft and replace it as required free of charge. the recall began on august 28, 006. owners may contact volvo trucks at 1-800-528-6586.
Notes:
Volvo trucks recall no. rvxx0602.customers may also contact the national highway traffic safety administration's vehicle safety hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (tty 1-800-424-9153), or go to http://www.safercar.gov.
Campaign:
06V385000 on 10/10/2006
Component:
Power train:driveline
Manufactured:
05/31/2006 - 08/30/2006
Affected:
3,842
Defect:
On certain trucks equipped with arvinmeritor rpl20 high angle interaxle driveshafts, an improper seated or missing snap ring can result in the bearing cup to separate from the slip yoke sub-assembly. the universal joint cross could then contact the slip yoke casting and eventually cause the ear work to fracture.
Consequence:
This could result in additional damage to the driveline, the vehicle to which it is attached and ay additional nearby objects.
Correction:
Dealers will inspect the driveshafts and replace them as needed. the recall began on october 23, 2006. owners may contact volvo trucks at 1-800-528-6586.
Notes:

Campaign:
07V323000 on 07/25/2007
Component:
Steering
Manufactured:
11/13/2006 - 05/29/2007
Affected:
9,102
Defect:
On certain trucks, the nut used to retain the steering shaft may or may not be a lock nut that has the locking feature. a lock nut is required to provide additional resistance to ensure that the nut does not come loose.
Consequence:
If the nut were to come loose, the steering shaft could potentially separate resulting in loss of steering control which could cause a crash.
Correction:
Dealers will replace the steering shaft pinch bolts and locknuts free of charge. the recall began on august 24, 2007. owners may contact volvo trucks at 1-800-528-6586.

Campaign:
07V345000 on 08/07/2007
Component:
Fuel system, diesel
Manufactured:
12/04/2006 - 03/06/2007
Affected:
677
Defect:
On certain trucks, an unprotected lead in the thermoswitch of the heater may make contact with another post possibly creating a short circuit, which can result in continuous operation of the heating element.
Consequence:
If the condition exists and the key is left on without fuel in the filter, the heating element may heat to a point where a flame becomes present at the tip of the element which could result in a vehicle fire.
Correction:
Dealers will inspect the thermoswitch and will replace it if necessary. the recall began on september 10, 2007. owners may contact volvo trucks at 1-800-528-6586.

Campaign:
07V496000 on 10/22/2007
Component:
Trailer hitches:fifth wheel assembly
Manufactured:
01/08/2006 - 06/28/2007
Affected:
6,519
Defect:
On certain trucks equipped with a saf holland simplex fifth wheel, the lever arm pivot bolt may have been over tightened. an over tightened pivot bolt can distort the pivot bolt spacer sleeve, which may prevent the fifth wheel latch jaw from closing and latching securely around the trailer king pin.
Consequence:
There is a possibility that the pivot bolt can become loose without the driver's knowledge. when this occurs, the driver could drive away and the trailer could become disengaged, increasing the risk of a crash.
Correction:
Dealers will replace the pivot bolt and sleeve with a hex head shoulder bolt and washer free of charge. the recall began on january 28, 2008. owners may contact volvo trucks at 1-800-528-6586.
Notes:

Campaign:
07V573000 on 12/13/2007
Component:
Electrical system:fuses and circuit breakers
Affected:
104,845
Defect:
On certain heavy duty trucks, the circuit protection (i.e. automatic circuit breakers) used to protect the vehicle lighting system may not provide adequate protection.
Consequence:
If a short circuit occurs and is left untreated, components and wiring may be subject to overheating which could possibly result in a vehicle fire.
Correction:
Dealers will replace the circuit breakers with fuses. the recall began on february 25, 2008. owners may contact volvo trucks at 1-800-528-6586.
Notes:

Campaign:
09V173000 on 05/20/2009
Component:
Visibility:windshield wiper/washer:motor
Affected:
127,764
Defect:
Volvo trucks is recalling 127,764 my 2001-2008 vhd, vnl, vnm, and my 2005-2008 vt trucks. a seal may fail allowing water and contaminants to seep into the windshield wiper motor.
Consequence:
If this happens a short circuit may occur, which over time could possibly lead to a vehicle fire.
Correction:
Volvo will replace the wiper motor free of charge. since this recall involves a large number of vehicles, volvo will release the recall in stages as parts are received. priority will be given to the vehicles located in the regions/states that have a corrosive environment. the recall began on september 30, 2009. owners may contact volvo trucks at 1-800-528-6586.

Campaign:
10V571000 on 11/17/2010
Component:
Service brakes, air:supply:quick release valve
Manufactured:
11/06/2005 - 10/29/2009
Affected:
6,187
Defect:
Volvo trucks is recalling certain model year 2007 and 2009 vhd, model year 2006 through 2010 vn, and model year 2007 through 2009 vt trucks manufactured from november 7, 2005, through october 30, 2009, equipped with an air release fifth wheel. the inversion valve on the frame may be orientated where contaminants can enter the valve through the exhaust port. as a result, the brake valve may corrode.
Consequence:
Corrosion of the valve can cause it to malfunction, thereby adversely affecting braking performance and increasing the risk of a crash.
Correction:
Dealers will inspect the inversion valve and replace as required. this service will be performed free of charge. the safety recall is expected to begin on or before february 18, 2011. owners may contact volvo trucks at 1-800-528-6586.

Component:
Power train:clutch assembly
Manufactured:
12/19/2006 - 05/21/2013
Affected:
23,056
Defect:
Volvo trucks north america (volvo) is recalling certain model year 2007-2014 vah, vhd, vnl, vnm, and vt models. the affected vehicles were built without a redundant clutch disengagement switch. without a redundant switch, a loss of signal from the brake air pressure switch can prevent the clutch from automatically disengaging when the brake is applied.
Consequence:
Without a signal to disengage the clutch when the brakes are applied, the distance required to stop the truck may lengthen, increasing the risk of a crash.
Correction:
Volvo trucks will notify owners and dealers will inspect and repair the vehicles if necessary. the recall began on august 26, 2013. volvo's recall number is rvxx1303. owners may contact volvo at 1-336-393-2000.
