Volvo remote battery disconnect switch was manufactured with incorrect hardware allowing the cables to loosen.
The short version
Volvo Trucks North America reported a problem with the 12v/24v/48v battery cables. Here is what owners need to know.
The remote battery disconnect switch was manufactured with incorrect hardware allowing the cables to loosen. Additionally, as mounted, the cables may vibrate and chafe.
Loose or chafed cables may lead to overheating of the battery cable and switch which may result in a fire.
Volvo will send owners an interim letter and dealers will replace and relocate the remote battery disconnect switch, free of charge.
