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 vehicles, the sleeper bunk window may not be properly attached. This could cause the window to separate from the vehicle. Note: This is an expansion of recall 2019-144.
