November 12, 2010, while driving on a state highway, as sole owner/operator of a 2003 volvo vhd 64f 10 wheel dump truck the engine suddenly and without warning stopped running. It immediately became a safety issue to control this empty truck with no equipment trailer attached because of the loss of power steering. The vehicle was towed to a volvo dealer. It was diagnosed by volvo as an engine computer failure. Volvo has not explained which part of this (eecu) engine electronic control unit failed, which I requested to know.
