Description

Detailed recall information for NHTSA ID 96V095000 by Volvo Trucks North America. Includes 771 affected units, VOLVO TRUCK/BRAKES:AIR SYSTEMS, component: SERVICE BRAKES, AIR, and more from the Department of Transportation.

Defect Summary

The traction solenoid exhaust can be obstructed due to inadequate drainage and a build-up of road contamination between the mounting bracket and the solenoid housing. The obstructed exhaust prevents the relay valve control air pressure from venting after a differential braking traction event.

Corrective Action

Dealers will remove the suspect valve and install a new valve that has a modified solenoid housing which will allow for sufficient drainage and a new valve mounting bracket with increased height to reduce entry of contamination.
