Recall 06V-021: 2003–2006 Volvo VHD, 2003–2006 Volvo VNL and 1 more
VOLVO TRUCKS NORTH AMERICA, INC. recall for engine and engine cooling, reported to NHTSA on Jan 26, 2006, covering about 33,102 vehicles.
The problem
On certain trucks equipped with d12d engines, the exhaust gas recirculation (Egr) cooler inlet pipes or the pipes that connect the EGR valves to the cooler may crack or break.
The risk
If the pipes or the cooler inlet pipes fail and are left untreated, the air cleaner and inner fender may be subject to hot exhaust gases, which could lead to a fire.
The fix
Dealers will inspect and repair the EGR cooler pipes as required and install a heat shield free of charge. An interim owner letter was mailed on february 17, 2006, to advise on precautions that the owner can take until parts become available. Owners are being notified starting march 3, 2006, that parts are now available. Owners may contact volvo trucks at 1-800-528-6586.
