PEDAL BRACKET MAY FAIL
The nuts that secure the pedal mounting assembly may be the wrong specification. This could allow the nuts to work loose. If this happens control of the vehicle could be effected.
Recall all affected vehicles and replace the nuts.
TOXIC FUMES MAY DEVELOP IN CAB
It is possible in certain conditions for humidity to enter the Voltage Converter which can lead to smouldering/scorching inside of the converter producing smoke and toxic fumes.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to fit a cover that more effectively protects the voltage converter against humidity.

CONTROL MAY BE LOST
Rear suspension springs may not be to specification and could fail at the spring eye. If such a failure occurs vehicle control could be lost.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to check and where necessary replace the suspension springs.
FRONT SEAT BELT HEIGHT ADJUSTERS MAY FAIL
The treaded connection of the front belt height adjuster may not correspond to the high quality required of Mercedes Benz under heavy loads.
Replace the front height adjusters including the threaded connection.
EXTERIOR LADDER RIVET CAN FAIL
Due to certain climatic conditions the rear exterior ladder pivot which is an aluminium rivet can fail without warning.
Recall all affected vehicles where the rivet will be replaced by a Stainless Steel 'nylock' nut and bolt.
FLUID MAY LEAK INTO WIRING HARNESS WHICH MAY CAUSE FIRE
A number of Volvo C30S40V50 and C70 may experience a problem with washer fluid leaking inside the washer pump unit through the wires into the central control electronic module. This can impact on a number of different features of the vehicle but in the worst case it may lead to a fire.
The solution is to replace and then modify the wiring harness for the washer fluid pump. In addition to this the washer pump connector will be inspected for any signs of corrosion and the washer pump will be replaced if necessary
