• Inoperable tail lights investigation # PE06054

  Odi opened this investigation based on a technical service bulletin and ewr data. Ewr warranty data is aggregate data and individual reports are not submitted.Volvo reviewed their warranty data and determined that only 63 of the ewr warranty claims related to the subject vehicles displayed symptoms consistent with the tsb.Volvo also noted in their ir response that the tail light configuration is used almost exclusively on tractors that are normally attached to semi trailers.Therefore, the tractor lights are normally not the rear most lights on the vehicle.In a normal application, even if one tail light on the tractor was out, the tail light on the trailer would continue to illuminate and provide other drivers of the intentions of the semi trailer driver.Pursuant to 49 cfr 396.11 & 13, a commercial vehicle operator is required to perform a pre-trip and post-trip inspection, which includes checking the functionality of the tail lights.Given the above information, odi has not identified a safety-related defect trend at this time and further use of agency resources does not appear to be warranted.The closing of this investigation does not constitute a finding by nhtsa that no safety-related defect exists.The agency reserves the right to take further action if warranted by the circumstances.

November 12, 2010, while driving on a state highway, as sole owner/operator of a 2003 volvo vhd 64f 10 wheel dump truck the engine suddenly and without warning stopped running. It immediately became a safety issue to control this empty truck with no equipment trailer attached because of the loss of power steering. The vehicle was towed to a volvo dealer. It was diagnosed by volvo as an engine computer failure. Volvo has not explained which part of this (eecu) engine electronic control unit failed, which i requested to know. The eecu was replaced with a volvo rebuilt unit. This is a product safety and reliability issue. This truck has fifteen thousand, (15,000), original miles. *tr

The truck was just working an average day, hauling hot mix asphalt, when the engine began to skip. Brought the truck into dario diesel, they found faulty injector connector, had it replaced. One month later, the same thing happened, again took truck to dario diesel, they found the same problem, they repaired the connector, and sent the truck on its way. 2 months after second repair, it happened again, they found the same problem, corrected it and sent the truck on its way again. One month after third repair, the same thing happened again, again took the truck to dario diesel, they found the same problem and sent the truck on its way. Now they tell us the whole wiring harness for the connectors need to be replaced. We have already spent $1397.00 having this problem supposedly repaired. We have also sent a letter to volvo trucks telling them of the problem. *tr
