Volvo Trucks North America announced that they will be recalling certain models of the 2008 Volvo VT. They stated that on certain trucks, an incorrect software parameter was loaded which resulted in the diesel particulate filter (DPF) ‘inhibit’ function being disabled. The ‘inhibit’ function is a means for the driver to stop a DPF regeneration from occurring if a vehicle is in a location that may present a hazardous situation.
If the driver believes that regeneration has been stopped when it has not, it could result in a fire. Dealers will change the control parameters. The recall began on February 15, 2008. Owners may contact Volvo trucks at 1-800-528-6586.
