What's wrong, in plain English
The bolts that hold the air tank bracket in place on these trucks were tightened too much, and some may have broken. If a fastener breaks, the air tank can come loose from the truck. A tank that detaches while the truck is on the road becomes a hazard for other vehicles nearby, and it raises the chance of a crash.
What you should do
2. Contact a Volvo Trucks dealer, or call 1-800-528-6586.
3. The repair (replacing the fasteners) is free.
