Volvo Recalls 42,000 Trucks

January 26, 2006
Volvo is recalling 42,000 of its Volvo VN and VHD truck model in the U.S. market because of a possible fire risk from pipes leaking hot gases into the engine.

In a statement, the company said engineers have discovered that the inlet pipes on the exhaust gas recirculation system may crack or break. If the pipes are not repaired or replaced then components in the engine compartment may be exposed to hot exhaust gases.

The Volvo recall says the condition could lead to a fire or at least heat damage. Volvo reports two cases of fires, though without any personal injury.

Volvo plans to inspect and replace any damaged parts and install a heat shield on all of the trucks.
