The problem
On certain heavy duty trucks, the circuit protection (I.e. Automatic circuit breakers) used to protect the vehicle lighting system May not provide adequate protection.
The risk
If a short circuit occurs and is left untreated, components and wiring May be subject to overheating which could possibly result in a vehicle fire.
The fix
Dealers will replace the circuit breakers with fuses. The recall began on February 25, 2008. Owners May contact Volvo trucks at 1-800-528-6586.
