Campaign
Published by	NHTSA (United States)
Campaign number	98V255000
Manufacturer	VOLVO TRUCKS NORTH AMERICA INC
Reported	1998-10-14
Owners notified	1998-11-27
Component	SUSPENSION:FRONT:SPRINGS:AIR SUSPENSION:LINES AND FITTINGS
Units potentially affected	95013

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.

What can happen

THIS CONDITION WOULD RESULT IN INCREASED STOPPING DISTANCES.

The remedy

DEALERS WILL INSTALL THE NECESSARY AIR PRESSURE PROTECTION VALVE.
