The short version
Volvo Trucks North America reported a problem with the service brakes. Here is what owners need to know.
In the affected trucks, the trailer hand brake handle may not to return to the off position due to being restricted by the cut out in the trim panel.
If the brake handle does return to the off position, the trailer service brakes may drag causing the wheel end to overheat and potentially cause a wheel end fire or tire blowout. Either condition increases the risk of a crash.
Volvo will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the trim panel slot and make it longer, as necessary, free of charge.
