Defect description

Volvo Bus Corporation (Volvo Bus) is recalling certain model year 2013 9700 coach buses manufactured April 30, 2012, through November 2, 2012. Due a manufacturing error, the guide plate in the park brake control valve may prematurely wear creating a condition that causes the park brake lever to fail to completely apply the parking brakes.

Safety risk

If the parking brakes are not completely applied, the vehicle may unintentionally move, increasing the risk of a vehicle crash or personal injury to pedestrians.

Manufacturer remedy

Volvo Bus will notify owners, and dealers will inspect, and if necessary, replace the park brake valve, free of charge. The recall began on November 19, 2013. Owners may contact Volvo Bus at 1-336-393-2000. Volvo's recall number is SR13-87.
