Defect Description

Volvo Bus Corporation (Volvo Bus) is recalling certain 2016-2017 Volvo 9700 transit buses equipped with the I-Start feature. These vehicles have a ground cable that may have been improperly installed, resulting in inadequate electrical contact. The poor contact may cause the power feed relay to fail and the engine to stall.

Consequence / Hazard

An unexpected engine shutdown increases the risk of a crash.

Proposed Solution

Volvo Bus will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the vehicles and correct the ground wire installation, as necessary, free of charge. The recall began on May 4, 2017. Owners may contact Volvo Bus customer service 1-877-773-8678. Volvo Bus' number for this recall is SR17-80. Note: The affected vehicles were previously remedied for a similar issue under recall 16V836, however, this recall requires additional repairs to ensure that the power feed relay will not fail.
