In some instances the exhaust rocker piston cap screw may become loose and back out causing loss of engine compression, or a mechanical injector Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC).
FSB 392-004, Rad
On Volvo Trucks built between October 6, 2008 and August 18, 2014, with a factory installed programmable radio, the old radio may no longer be available for purchase. To upgrade from a GLAD format radio to a DEA500 format radio follow the following instructions.

The draglink rod boot may be compromised and enable dirt/water to contaminate the draglink rod ball socket on some VOLVO VN trucks equipped with a sealed Uresko draglink rod. If this condition is untreated, failure of the ball socket and a complete loss of steering may be possible.
FSB 593-012
Hill Start Assist Solenoid, Replacement
FSB 593 012
On some VOLVO VHD, VN, VT, and VAH truck models built between 04/31/2008 and 11/30/2015, the solenoid valve for the Hill Start Assist feature is prone to internal contamination in harsh environments. The internal contamination of the solenoid valve is caused by the buildup of grime, salt, road debris and other solid contaminants. In some cases, the buildup of solid contaminants caused the solenoid valve to malfunction. A similar malfunction is possible if the solenoid valve is equipped with a vent fitting that freezes over. The malfunction causes the trailer brake circuit to maintain trailer brake pressure after a grade Hill Start Assist event. Replacement of the existing solenoid valve, elbow, and the addition of a new tube fitting and tube will ensure proper functionality of the Hill Start Assist feature.
