| Defect Summary : 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. | Consequence Summary: 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. |
| Corrective Summary : 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 Notes: System: brakes; air systems. vehicle description: class 8 heavy duty trucks equipped with a bendix atr traction relay valve. note: 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 volvo gm heavy truck at 1-800-528-6586. also contact the national highway traffic safety administration's auto safety hotline at 1-800-424-9393. |
