Volvo VNL: Electrical

Affects Volvo VNL · 2013 — about 1 vehicles.

The hazard

On certain vehicles equipped with an Idle Free Model BA600 Electric Auxiliary Power Unit (APU), the mounting points on the housing of the APU could crack or tear. This could cause the power unit to possibly fail, or detach from the truck, creating a road hazard and increasing the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will inspect and, if necessary, install a welded gusset upgrade kit and stronger clamping brackets.
