On certain trucks, when the manual override is used to switch off the daytime running lamps (DRLs), the lights may not turn on again when you start driving. Canadian regulations require that if DRLs are manually turned off, they must turn on again when you start driving.
Driving without daytime running lights could make the vehicle less visible to others and increase the risk of a crash.
Volvo Trucks will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your truck to a dealer to update the vehicle software.
On certain trucks, the Gross Axle Weight Rating (GAWR) for rear drive axles exceeds the load rating of the wheel hubs. This could cause the hubs to fail prematurely. If this happens, a wheel could separate from the truck.
A wheel separation could increase the risk of a crash. A wheel that detaches from a vehicle could also create a hazard for other drivers and nearby people.
Volvo will notify owners by mail and provide them with a new compliance label that has a lower GAWR.
On certain trucks, the fuse for the transmission electrical circuit may have a lower rating than what is required. As a result, the fuse could blow while driving. This could cause the transmission not to shift.
A transmission that does not shift properly could increase the risk of a crash.
Volvo will notify owners by mail and instruct them to take their truck to a dealer to install the correct fuse.
On certain vehicles, the sleeper bunk window may not be properly attached. This could cause the window to separate from the vehicle.
If the window separates, it could fall and become a hazard for road users and bystanders. This could create a risk of injury and/or a crash.
The company will notify owners by mail. Owners will be instructed to take their vehicle to a dealer to have the hinge on the sleeper bunk window replaced.
On certain vehicles equipped with an Eaton automated manual transmission and electronic clutch actuator (ECA), a manufacturing problem could cause the clutch to fail. If this occurs, the broken clutch components could prevent the transmission from disengaging or shifting to neutral.
If the transmission does not disengage, the vehicle could move unexpectedly, even if the parking brake is applied. This could increase the risk of a crash.
The company will notify owners by mail. Owners will be instructed to take their vehicle to a dealer to update the Transmission Control Module (TCM) software.
On certain trucks built with a Cummins X15 or ISX15 engine equipped with nylon fuel lines and a banjo bolt on the fuel pump, a blockage in the fuel cooling system may cause a fuel line to burst. This could result in a significant fuel leak onto the roadway, which would create a road hazard for other motorists. Additionally, this condition could also cause an engine stall without warning, without the ability to restart the engine. Both of these conditions may increase the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Cummins-authorized dealers will replace the affected nylon line with a steel line.
A failure of this component (fuel system) may increase the risk of a crash or injury.
Authorized dealerships will inspect the vehicle and complete all necessary repairs free of charge (parts and labor).
