Redundant Clutch Disengagement Signal

NHTSA #13V268000 · Power Train — Clutch Assembly · NHTSA notice

Reported June 26, 2013 · Volvo Trucks North America

Potentially affected: 23,056 vehicles

Volvo campaign RVXX1303 · Owners notified August 26, 2013 · Vehicles built December 20, 2006 – May 22, 2013 (per NHTSA) · Recall influenced by NHTSA's Office of Defects Investigation

Defect description

Volvo Trucks North America (Volvo) is recalling certain model year 2007-2014 VAH, VHD, VNL, VNM, and VT models. The affected vehicles were built without a redundant clutch disengagement switch. Without a redundant switch, a loss of signal from the brake air pressure switch can prevent the clutch from automatically disengaging when the brake is applied.

Safety consequence

Without a signal to disengage the clutch when the brakes are applied, the distance required to stop the truck may lengthen, increasing the risk of a crash.

Manufacturer remedy

Volvo Trucks will notify owners and dealers will inspect and repair the vehicles if necessary. The recall began on August 26, 2013. Volvo's recall number is RVXX1303. Owners may contact Volvo at 1-336-393-2000.
