FSB 211-002, Two Piece Valve Cover Name Plate,
Replacement
(October 2017)
On some VOLVO VN, VHD, and VAH trucks built from January 2014 to July 2017 and
equipped with the name plate on a two piece valve cover, the name plate may come loose.
Over time, weak clips in combination with water absorption in the plastic may lead to the
deformation of the nameplate. Epoxy must be added at seven positions between the valve
cover and nameplate to secure the name plate to the valve cover. Follow the repair
instructions outlined in this Field Service Bulletin (FSB).
