Defect SummaryOn certain trucks equipped with d12d engines, the exhaust gas recirculation (egr) cooler inlet pipes or the pipes that connect the egr valves to the cooler may crack or break.
Consequence SummaryIf the pipes or the cooler inlet pipes fail and are left untreated, the air cleaner and inner fender may be subject to hot exhaust gases, which could lead to a fire.
Corrective SummaryDealers will inspect and repair the egr cooler pipes as required and install a heat shield free of charge. an interim owner letter was mailed on february 17, 2006, to advise on precautions that the owner can take until parts become available. owners are being notified starting march 3, 2006, that parts are now available. owners may contact volvo trucks at 1-800-528-6586.
