Summary
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.
Consequence
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.
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.
Notes
Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.

Vehicles covered

As listed by NHTSA. A recall usually covers only some vehicles of each model and year, often a production date range.

Has your Volvo Bus been repaired?

Recalls here come from NHTSA’s records for the model and year. Not every vehicle of a model is included in every recall, and this site can’t see whether a repair has been done. Only a VIN lookup can tell you that.

NHTSA’s VIN search doesn’t show recalls that were already repaired, recalls more than 15 years old, or some small manufacturers’ recalls. A Volvo Bus dealer can also check your VIN. Recall repairs are free.
