2000 Volvo WAH recalls
Recall 02V-037: Steering
Problem: On some heavy duty class 8 vehicles equipped with arvinmeritor axle assemblies which may have been manufactured with trw model 20edl ball sockets, the tie rod ball-socket bearings have a below specification case depth and/or hardness which can lead to premature wear out of the socket in some applications.
Risk: If this condition occurs, the driver can lose steering control, possibly resulting in a vehicle crash.
Fix: Dealers will replace the ball socket assemblies. This campaign supersedes NHTSA campaign nos. 01v-139.001 and 02v-037.002. Owner notification began july 25, 2002. 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 trucks at 1-800-528-6586.
Recall 00V-232: Service Brakes, Air
Problem: Vehicle description: heavy duty trucks built with bendix air ABS with an ec-17 1030r electronic control unit (Ecu), there have been reports of unwanted ABS activation at low speeds caused by 1) chafed ABS wheel speed sensor wires on rotating parts or 2) a damaged component at the wheel end that generates a certain type of erratic sensor signal.
Risk: This condition could cause the ABS ECU to exhaust the air at the air brake modulators for one or more of the wheels. This could result in extended braking distances and a possible crash.
Fix: Dealers will replace the ABS ECU.
