1995 Volvo Acl problems

What is wrong

Vehicle description: class 8 heavy duty trucks. The air suspension control valve supply line was not plumbed through an air pressure protection valve. In the event of a failure, there would be loss of air pressure in the 'b' system air reservoir that supplies air pressure for the front steer axle brakes.

Risk

This condition would result in increased stopping distances.

Remedy

Dealers will install the necessary air pressure protection valve.

What is wrong

The rear most axle of the tandem axle set could have inoperable brakes on one or both wheels because the brake s-cam was incorrectly installed.

Risk

This condition could cause increased stopping distance increasing the potential for a vehicle accident.

Remedy

Dealers will inspect the brake system and repair the s-cam assembly if found reversed.

Recall number 96V157000 · Recall details

What is wrong

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.

Risk

This condition would keep the rear axle service brakes applied without any brake pedal movement by the driver increasing the risk of a vehicle accident.

Remedy

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.

Recall number 96V095000 · Recall details

What is wrong

The rear suspension axle retention plate can break under normal use, affecting axle alignment.

Risk

This condition could result in loss of rear axle stability affecting vehicle directional control and increasing the potential for a vehicle crash.

Remedy

Dealers will remove and replace the axle retention clip plates on affected vehicles.

Recall number 96V032000 · Recall details

What is wrong

Undercoating applied to the inside of the cab shell squeezed out during assembly onto the brake pedal plunger.

Risk

Undercoating on the plunger may cause the plunger to stick resulting in increased brake pedal effort and/or slow release of the brakes increasing the potential for a vehicle accident.

Remedy

Dealers will clean the undercoating from the brake pedal plunger assembly, lubricate and reinstall the brake pedal plunger assembly.
