Volvo recalls FH trucks
Interior light may cause a 'soft' short circuit. Owners urged to contact dealersVolvo Trucks Australia is conducting a precautionary recall of some current model FH trucks, built between November 26, 2012, and September 12, 2016.
Volvo says the precautionary recall is a result of the company's internal quality and safety processes, which identified a possible fault with the cab interior lights. In some rare cases, moisture and dust between the electrical guide ways on the lamp printed circuit board (PCB), could lead to a 'soft' short circuit, otherwise known as a current leak. In some cases, the fuses intended to protect the cab interior electrical system may not detect a soft short circuit, therefore Volvo Trucks has made the decision to recall all trucks with this particular cab interior lamp as a precautionary measure.
Whilst there has been no local incidents reported a result of this fault, and chance of an incident occurring is very small, Volvo Trucks Australia has made the decision to recall these trucks as a precautionary measure.
Volvo Trucks Australia has already started contacting all impacted customers in writing, in accordance with its commitment to safety and legal obligations. Work to rectify the impacted vehicles has already commenced, and customer are encouraged to contact their local dealer or authorised workshop to arrange a time for their vehicle to be inspected and rectified, free of charge, at their earliest convenience.
