Volvo VNL: Electrical

Affects Volvo VNL · 2011 — about 316 vehicles.

The hazard

On certain vehicles, there is a potential for the engine to start without warning due to an unintended path to ground. This can occur when either the negative battery cable is disconnected at the battery / fusible link or if the fusible link opens as a result of a short circuit. If the engine starts without warning, while being serviced, for example, it could cause personal injuries to anyone in the immediate vicinity. Correction: Dealers will install a jumper wiring harness between the engine harness and the chassis harness.
