The campaign which is running from 1 May to 31 July 2015 is open to all Volvo trucks whether purchased from Volvo Malaysia or reconditioned. Each health check session will take approximately 2.5 hours per truck and will cover a checklist comprising engine compression test check, engine compartment check, lubricant and fluid check, steering linkage check, brake check, suspension check, tyre check, battery check and overall body check on lights, reflectors and mirrors.
While preventive maintenance is encouraged for all trucks owners, Volvo urges truck owners with trucks over 5 years old or with mileage that exceeds 700,000km to undergo health checks to evaluate the current state and efficiency of the vehicles. The preventive checks will enable Volvo to diagnose the actual truck condition using Volvo’s specific technology tools like the VCAD PRO – an online diagnosis software which is connected to the factory in real time. This tool is able to diagnose problems in a truck and is able to generate reports of parts that are worn out and due to be changed, as well as highlight the most complex of issues.
