The problem

On certain trucks, an unprotected lead in the thermoswitch of the heater may make contact with another post possibly creating a short circuit, which can result in continuous operation of the heating element.

The risk

If the condition exists and the key is left on without fuel in the filter, the heating element may heat to a point where a flame becomes present at the tip of the element which could result in a vehicle fire.

The fix

Dealers will inspect the thermoswitch and will replace it if necessary. The recall began on september 10, 2007. Owners may contact volvo trucks at 1-800-528-6586.
