3 recalls.

12V510000

Date: 2012-10-18. Systems: SEAT BELTS.

Defect: Volvo is recalling certain model year 2002-2013 VHD and VN trucks, manufactured from August 4, 2000, through June 22, 2012, and equipped with bench passenger seats. The seat belt d-ring weld may not be sufficient enough to meet the seat belt pull test. Therefore, these vehicles fail to conform to the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 210, "Seat Belt Assembly Anchorages."

Consequence: In the event of a crash, an insufficient seat belt weld may prevent the seat belt from properly restraining the occupant. This increases the risk of injury to the seat occupant.

Remedy: Volvo Trucks of America will notify owners, and dealers will replace the suspected d-ring, free of change. The safety recall began on May 10, 2013. Owners may contact Volvo at 1-336-393-2000.

Do not drive: No. Park outside: No.

THE INVERSION VALVE ON THE FRAME MAY BE ORIENTATED WHERE CONTAMINANTS CAN ENTER THE VALVE THROUGH THE EXHAUST PORT. AS A RESULT, THE BRAKE VALVE MAY CORRO (excerpt)

Consequence: CORROSION OF THE VALVE CAN CAUSE IT TO MALFUNCTION, THEREBY ADVERSELY AFFECTING BRAKING PERFORMANCE AND INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH. (excerpt)

Remedy: DEALERS WILL INSPECT THE INVERSION VALVE AND REPLACE AS REQUIRED. THIS SERVICE WILL BE PERFORMED FREE OF CHARGE. THE SAFETY RECALL IS EXPECTED TO BEGIN ON OR BEFORE FEBRUARY 18, 2011. OWNERS MAY CONTACT VOLVO TRUCKS AT 1-800-528-6586. (excerpt)

06V099000

Date: 2006-04-04. Systems: STEERING.

THE PINCH BOLT FITS INTO A GROOVE IN THE STEERING GEAR INPUT SHAFT TO ENSURE THAT THE STEERING SHAFT DOES NOT SEPARATE FROM THE STEERING GEAR IF THE PINCH BOLT COMES LOOSE.

Consequence: THIS COULD POTENTIALLY LEAD TO STEERING SHAFT SEPARATION RESULTING IN LOSS OF CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE IF THE PINCH BOLT WERE TO COME LOOSE INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.

Remedy: DEALERS WILL INSPECT THE STEERING SHAFT AND REPLACE IT AS REQUIRED FREE OF CHARGE. THE RECALL BEGAN ON AUGUST 28, 006. OWNERS MAY CONTACT VOLVO TRUCKS AT 1-800-528-6586.

Notes on this record

  • Complaints from the API and bulk file are merged and deduplicated by ODI number; the API alone misses records.
  • System and subsystem counts are numbers of distinct complaints, recalls or communications that name them. One record can name several systems, so shares across systems can add to more than 100 percent; a single share never exceeds 100 percent.
  • Recalls are counted once per campaign, investigations once per action and manufacturer communications once per NHTSA id, even when NHTSA lists several model names for the same record.
  • A sales denominator is a calendar-year proxy, not the population of vehicles still in use. Rates are copied from verified pipeline output.

Other names NHTSA uses
