Recalls
3 recalls name the 1979 Volvo Volvo Truck. Newest first.
The brake line between the proportioning valve and the rear wheel brake may fracture.
The torsion bar clamp may allow the torsion bar to move. Increased effort will be required to raise or lower the tilt cab.
Risk and remedy
Remedy
The clamps that attach the two rear-most torsion bars to the chassis will be replaced at no charge.
Some of the involved vehicles may be susceptible to extensive rusting of the splined section of the lower steering shaft. This could prevent the splined shaft from moving into the sleeve. If this occurs, excessive stress IS applied between the joint connection and input shaft, causing unacceptable motion of the universal joint connection.
Risk and remedy
Remedy
Dealer will inspect and replace the existing column with a newly designed column or will invert the existing column to locate the splined section inside the cab, at no cost to owner.
