- The problem
- On certain heavy duty class 8 trucks, equipped with holland air suspension systems, a transverse beam casting may fracture under normal loads. If a casting breaks when the vehicle is traveling on a roadway there is the potential for pieces of the casting to become projectiles and the suspension?S transverse beam may drop down low enough to contact the road surface.
- The risk
- This will cause sparks that could potentially ignite and cause a fire.
- The fix
- Dealers will inspect and replace the defective transverse beam assemblies. The recall began on august 26, 2005. Owners may contact volvo trucks at 1-800-528-6586.
