- The problem
- On certain trucks equipped with d12d engines, the exhaust gas recirculation (egr) cooler inlet pipes or the pipes that connect the egr valves to the cooler may crack or break.
- The risk
- If the pipes or the cooler inlet pipes fail and are left untreated, the air cleaner and inner fender may be subject to hot exhaust gases, which could lead to a fire.
- The fix
- Dealers will inspect and repair the egr cooler pipes as required and install a heat shield free of charge. An interim owner letter was mailed on february 17, 2006, to advise on precautions that the owner can take until parts become available. Owners are being notified starting march 3, 2006, that parts are now available. Owners may contact volvo trucks at 1-800-528-6586.

It still had low power. I brought it back to them. After testing it for the second time, they said that copper cups were the problem and suggested me to take it back to the dealer who fixed them. I followed their...

advice and for the second time took it back to the first dealer. He found low boost power, which is also under warranty, but did not guarantee the correction of the problem. Last month I spend more than $6,000 on fixing my truck, but the situation is getting worse instead of getting better. Since I bought the truck in july of 2007, I've spent $16,000 on its repairs. All repairs were done by volvo dealers. I've got all the receipts. *Tr
