2000 Volvo Wxll recalls
Power train: automatic transmission
NHTSA campaign 03V308000 · reported August 22, 2003 · VOLVO TRUCKS NORTH AMERICA INC · 3,426 vehicles potentially affected
The problem
On certain heavy-duty class 8 vehicles, the body builder wiring option was mis-wired in such a way that the auto neutral with service brake status option may allow the transmission to go into forward gear without the driver's foot pressing down on the brake pedal first.
The risk
Unintended movement of the vehicle could put persons in danger inside and outside the vehicle.
The fix
Volvo trucks will notify its customers and install an additional air operated stop light switch and the necessary wiring changes. Owner notification is expected to begin during september 2003. Owners who take their vehicles to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact at 1-800-528-6586.
Wheels: rim
NHTSA campaign 00V190002 · reported January 29, 2001 · VOLVO TRUCKS NORTH AMERICA INC · 182 vehicles potentially affected
The problem
Vehicle description: heavy duty trucks equipped with accuride 22.5 x 8.25 15 tubeless demountable rims, part no. 32051. Certain rims contain a non-fusion area in the butt-weld of the mounting ring. Under certain circumstances, the defect could develop into a crack on the mounting ring.
The risk
Over time, the crack could propagate and if not heeded, could result in mounting ring failure, potentially causing the rim to separate from the vehicle.
The fix
Accuride will inspect and replace the defective or suspect wheel rims.
Service brakes, air: antilock
NHTSA campaign 00V232003 · reported August 22, 2000 · VOLVO TRUCKS NORTH AMERICA INC · 18,362 vehicles potentially affected
The problem
Vehicle description: heavy duty trucks built with bendix air ABS with an ec-17 1030r electronic control unit (ECU), there have been reports of unwanted ABS activation at low speeds caused by 1) chafed ABS wheel speed sensor wires on rotating parts or 2) a damaged component at the wheel end that generates a certain type of erratic sensor signal.
The risk
This condition could cause the ABS ECU to exhaust the air at the air brake modulators for one or more of the wheels. This could result in extended braking distances and a possible crash.
