- The problem
- Certain heavy duty class 8 trucks fail to comply with the requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 108, "Lamps, reflective devices, and associated equipment." The two tail lamps, back-up lamp,and license tag lamp were mounted on insufficiently rigid mounts.
- The risk
- It may not allow the driver of a rearward approaching vehicle to have full view of the lamps.
- The fix
- Dealers will attach the two tail lamps, back-up lamp, and the license tap lamp on stiffer brackets. Owner notification began october 31, 2002. Owners who take their vehicles to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact volvo trucks at 1-800-528-6586.
