FAILURE OF BRAKING SYSTEM VACUUM ASSISTANCE
The brake vacuum pump may cease to provide vacuum assistance. Should this occur greater brake pedal pressure would be needed and stopping distances may be increased.
The affected vehicles are being recalled to Ford dealers to have the brake pump manufacturing codes checked. Vacuum pumps within certain ranges will be replaced with new units. This campaign supersedes recall R1995/081 and includes all the vehicles alrea

POSSIBILITY OF SHORT CIRCUITING WITH FIRE RISK
The battery main cable may chafe against the front cross member. This could result in a short circuit and possible fire risk.
Recall the affected vehicles for the fitment of an additional cable clamp which will hold the battery cable clear of the cross member. any cables found to have a chafe condition will be replaced.
INCORRECT OIL IN BRAKING SYSTEM
During manufacture the braking systems were filled with mineral oil from identified batches which could have an adverse effect on braking performance.
Recall the affected vehicles to have the braking systems drained and filled with new mineral oil.
DRIVE AXLE LOCK-UP WHEN BRAKING IN THE LIGHT LADEN CONDITION
Instances of drive axle lock-up have occurred under normal braking with the outfit in the light laden condition. This could cause a jack-knife situation.
All potentially affected vehicles will be recalled to Volvo Truck dealers for brake threshold and predominance checks. Where required adjustments will be carried out on the trailer predominance and/or load sensing valves.
INSECURITY OF STEERING ARM BRACKETS
Instances have occurred where the threads on the screws securing the intermediate steering arm brackets have stripped due to the presence of foreign particles in the screw holes.
The affected vehicles are being recalled to have the brackets removed the screw hole threads inspected and cleaned and new bracket securing screws fitted.
STOP LIGHT SWITCH MAY BE FAULTY
The stop light switch on a small number of the subject vehicles may not operate as intended. Should this occur the stop lights may fail to illuminate when the footbrake is applied.
Recall the affected vehicles for replacement of the stop light switch with a switch of the latest specification.
STOP LIGHT SWITCH MAY BE FAULTY
The stop light switch on a small number of the subject vehicles may not operate as intended. Should this occur the stop lights may fail to illuminate when the footbrake is applied.
Recall the affected vehicles for replacement of the stop light switch with a switch of the latest specification.
POSSIBILITY OF REAR BRAKE CYLINDERS BEING INSECURE
It is possible that the two bolts securing the rear brake cylinder to the brake back plate may not have been fully tightened. If the bolts were to come loose the efficiency of that brake circuit could be impaired.
Recall the affected vehicles to tighten the subject bolts to the correct specification.
HOT COOLANT MAY ENTER PASSENGER COMPARTMENT
There is a risk of scalding to occupants of the front seats as a result of hot coolant leaking from the heater matrix into the passenger compartment.
Recall the affected vehicles for inspection of the heater matrix. Where this is found to be of an unmodified design (visually apparent) it will be replaced with a modified unit.
POSSIBLE LOSS OF STEERING CONTROL
The steering idler arm may not have adequate end clearance on its fulcrum and could pick up on its retaining nut shearing the split pin. This could allow detachment of the nut with an adverse effect on steering control.
Recall the affected vehicles and check that the steering idler arm has adequate end clearance on its fulcrum. Where the clearance is insufficient the correct clearance will be established by shimming.
BRAKE HOSES MAY CHAFE
Under certain circumstances a front flexible brake hose may split leading to fluid loss and reduced brake performance.
Recall the affected vehicles for the fitment of modified front brake hoses.
POSSIBLE DAMAGE TO TYRE DURING ASSEMBLY
The tyres on the affected vehicles may fail as a result of damage sustained when being fitted to the road wheels.
Recall the affected vehicles for replacement of the subject tyres.
CHAFING OF BRAKE HOSES
The hydraulic hoses to the rear brake calipers may have been incorrectly routed. This could result in contact between the hose and the suspension system with consequent damage to the hose.
Recall the affected vehicles to check and where necessary re-route the subject hoses. Any damaged hoses will be replaced.
POSSIBLE RUPTURE OF POWER STEERING HOSE
The oil hose on the pressure side of the power steering system is not to specification and could rupture with resultant loss of steering power assistance.
Recall the affected vehicles and replace the pressure side hose with a modified and quality assured version.
POSSIBLE RUPTURE OF POWER STEERING HOSE
The oil hose on the pressure side of the power steering system is not to specification and could rupture with resultant loss of steering power assistance.
Recall the affected vehicles and replace the pressure side hose with a modified and quality assured version.
POSSIBILITY OF SERVICE BRAKE FAILURE
Under conditions of heavy braking the footbrake relay cross shaft ball joint may detach from its left hand mounting. This would result in failure of the service brake.
Recall the affected vehicles and check that the ball joint is properly located in its bush. Where this is not the case the mounting assemblies will be adjusted or replaced as necessary.
CRACKING OF FRONT AXLE HUBS
Isolated instances of cracking of the front hubs have been recorded on high mileage vehicles.
Recall the affected vehicles and replace the subject hubs with modified versions.
SECURITY OF WATER TANK
The appliance mounted water tank may break loose and hit the rear of the crew cab in an accident situation.
Recall the affected appliances and reinforce the existing water tank security measures by attaching the tank to the chassis rear crossmember with high tensile duplex nylon ties.
FAILURE OF HEADLAMPS
The headlamp switch may overheat and result in headlamp failure.
Recall the affected vehicles for the fitting of a cable harness with control relay. In addition the light switch is to be replaced on Passat and Golf Ecomatic models as appropriate.

Recall the affected vehicles for the fitting of a cable harness with control relay. In addition the light switch is to be replaced on Passat and Golf Ecomatic models as appropriate.
SEAT BELT FIXINGS MAY BE INSECURE
The seat belt fixings may be loose at the frames on both front seats. Should these fixings come adrift the effectiveness of the seat belt will be reduced in the event of an accident.
Recall the affected vehicles and check the torque of the belt fixing retaining bolts on both front seats retorqueing if required.
INCORRECT BRAKING SYSTEM FLUID
The subject vehicles have been equipped with incorrect braking system fluid which may overheat and cause vapour locking.
Recall the affected vehicles purge the braking system of the incorrect brake fluid and refill with fluid of the correct specification.
POSSIBLE MALFUNCTION OF ABS CONTROL UNIT
Some electronic control units for the ABS circuit may not be able to analyse information correctly. This may cause damage to the ABS solenoid valves and could affect braking performance.
The affected vehicles will be recalled to have the electronic control units checked. Where this is found to display a fault code it will be replaced together with the ABS solenoid valves.
