SuspensionReported July 7, 2005 · 10 vehicles affected
What is wrong
On certain heavy duty class 8 trucks, equipped with holland air suspension systems, a transverse beam casting may fracture under normal loads. If a casting breaks when the vehicle is traveling on a roadway there is the potential for pieces of the casting to become projectiles and the suspension?s transverse beam may drop down low enough to contact the road surface.
Risk
This will cause sparks that could potentially ignite and cause a fire.
Remedy
Dealers will inspect and replace the defective transverse beam assemblies. The recall began on august 26, 2005. Owners may contact volvo trucks at 1‑800‑528‑6586.
