Reported
Service Brakes, Air
Model years 2004–2005
Certain trucks equipped with an auxiliary lift axle fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 121, 'air brake systems.' An auxiliary air tank required for the auxiliary lift axle was not installed.
- Consequence:
- During multiple applications of the brake pedal, the stopping distance may increase due to the lack of additional air capacity, which could result in a crash.
- Remedy:
- Dealers will install the air tank free of charge. The recall began on June 30, 2005. Owners may contact Volvo trucks at 1-800-528-6586.
