⚠️ What's wrong
Volvo trucks is recalling 366 my 2006-2009 VNL trucks equipped with super single tires, bendix brake cam tubes, and volvo air suspension. The vibration frequency from the suspension with super single tires may result in a fatigue crack of the mounting brackets for the brake cam tube.
💥 The risk
If left untreated, the crack CAN propagate and cause failure of the brake cam tube support bracket(s), which CAN result in loss of brakes at the corresponding wheel end increasing the risk of a crash.
🔧 The fix
Dealers will add a support bracket to the brake cam tube. The recall began on june 30, 2009. Owners may contact volvo trucks at 1-800-528-6586.
Is the fix free? Yes. Safety recall repairs are free at any authorized dealer under federal law, including parts and labor. (Vehicles more than 15 years old when the recall was announced can be excluded, but most manufacturers still fix them.)
