Recall 91V-205: 1984–1986 Volvo B10M
VOLVO GM HEAVY TRUCK CORP recall for service brakes, air, reported to NHTSA on Nov 22, 1991, covering about 171 vehicles.
The problem
The existing interlock air brake system must get its air supply directly from the parking brake air supply circuit. Should a component failure occur in the interlock air system, it will deplete the air supply from the parking brake circuit.
The risk
Depletion of air supply from the parking brake circuitwould allow the bus to roll with the parking brake applied. This couldresult in a vehicle accident.
The fix
Relocate the air supply line for the interlock system so that the air supply comes from the parking brake circuit to ensure that when the parking brake is applied, the parking brake cannot be disengaged or overridden by component failures.
Notes
System: brakes.vehicle description: 60 foot articulated buses.
