Volvo Bus B5tl: The Electric Pump Inverter Shuts Off When The Ignition Is Switched Off Even If The Vehicle Is Moving
Recall Summary Volvo is recalling 2,116 B5TL and B8RLE buses because the electric steering pump inverter can shut off when the ignition is switched off, even while the vehicle is still moving. This occurs due to a wiring issue that doesn't keep the steering pump function active during this condition. Volvo will fix this by rewiring the affected vehicles to maintain steering pump operation when needed.
