Recall 98V255000

Suspension › Front › Springs › Air Suspension › Lines And Fittings — Volvo, White Gmc · reported 14 Oct 1998 · 95,013 vehicles potentially affected

What's wrong

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.

The risk

THIS CONDITION WOULD RESULT IN INCREASED STOPPING DISTANCES.

The fix

DEALERS WILL INSTALL THE NECESSARY AIR PRESSURE PROTECTION VALVE.
