What's wrong
Volvo Bus Corporation (Volvo) is recalling certain model year 2009-2013 Volvo 9700 buses manufactured August 28, 2008, to December 21, 2012. In the affected vehicles, the exhaust clamp at the turbocharger may fail, allowing hot exhaust gas to contact materials in the engine compartment.
Consequence
If hot exhaust gas contacts other components or materials, it can increase the risk of a fire.
Remedy
Volvo will notify owners, and dealers will replace the exhaust clamp, free of charge. The recall began on November 11, 2015. Owners may contact Volvo Bus at 1-866-870-2046. Volvo's number for this recall is SR15-85.
