    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.

How to read this recall list

This list shows every safety recall campaign NHTSA has on file for this make, model and model year. It is not specific to one vehicle: a recall often covers only vehicles built in a certain date range or with a certain part, and many of the vehicles it covers will already have been repaired.

What each recall field means
What each recall field means
FieldWhat it tells you
Campaign numberNHTSA's unique ID for the recall, such as 20V771000. Quote it to a dealer or when searching NHTSA's site.
ComponentThe system or part involved, for example air bags, brakes or electrical software.
SummaryWhat the defect or non-compliance is and which vehicles are covered.
ConsequenceThe safety risk if the problem isn't fixed.
RemedyWhat the manufacturer will do, such as a repair, replacement or software update, and whether it is free.
  • Some recalls carry an NHTSA consumer advisory, “Do Not Drive” or “Park Outside”. Follow it until the repair is done.
  • A single campaign often covers several models or model years, so the same campaign number can appear in more than one list.
  • Recalls are shown as NHTSA publishes them. Very recent campaigns may take time to appear.
