What NHTSA recorded

On certain trucks, an incorrect software parameter was loaded which resulted in the diesel particulate filter (dpf) 'inhibit' function being disabled. The 'inhibit' function is a means for the driver to stop a dpf regeneration from occurring if a vehicle is in a location that may present a hazardous situation.

Possible consequence

If the driver believes that regeneration has been stopped when it has not, it could result in a fire.

Remedy

Dealers will change the control parameters. The recall began on february 15, 2008. Owners may contact volvo trucks at 1-800-528-6586.
