• Recall 2014387 [Canada]: Brakes
  On certain vehicles, bolts that hold the brake caliper to the backing plate may not have been tightened to specification, and could allow the brake caliper to separate from the backing plate. This would disable braking at the affected wheel, which could cause the vehicle to pull to one side during braking, and also increase stopping distances, which could result in a crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: dealers will inspect bolts and repair as required.

  Show Content

• Recall 2014260 [Canada]: Brakes
  On certain model vehicles outfitted with enhanced cruise control and without side fairings, a programming error could result in the active braking feature of the enhanced cruise control to be disabled.

  Show Content

• Recall 2013221 [Canada]: Other
  On certain vehicles, the secondary clutch disengagement switch may have been omitted during vehicle assembly or, in some instances, removed during servicing. As such, primary switch failure would cause the automated manual transmission’s clutch to remain engaged when the brakes are applied. This could increase stopping distances, possibly resulting in a crash causing property damage and/or personal injury. Correction: dealers will install a micro-switch at the brake pedal and update the software to run a diagnostic on the switch during engine start-up.

  Show Content

• Recall 2013090 [Canada]: Electrical
  On certain trucks, the battery cables were fastened to the remote battery disconnect switch using incorrect hardware. In addition, the cables may be prone to chafing and vibration. Both issues could lead to electrical arcing, which could result in a fire causing property damage and/or personal injury. Correction: dealers will relocate the remote battery disconnect switch module.

• Ride quality investigation # DP15006

  The office of defects investigation (odi) opened this defect petition (dp) assessment in response to a defect petition received from owners of a 2015 volvo vnl 780 tractor.Prior to submitting the letter the owners had submitted two vehicle owner questionnaires (voq).Their concerns included: cab sway, cab alignment , and loss of control.The petitioners further allege that due to a failure of the suspension system caused by cab misalignment one of them sustained a back injury while seated at the work station in the sleeper berth while traveling.The office received a total of six (6) complaints (1 via telephone) related to ride quality on 2013 -2016 volvo vnl vehicles.Two (2) of the complaints were filed by the petitioners.Of the five (5) unique complaints, three (3) were received during the course of this evaluation.During this evaluation, the owner/operators independent drivers association (ooida) published an article in their magazine, land line, prompting the additional two reports.One owner reported owning three volvo trucks, all of which had a tendency to sway and lean, yet he preferred the ride over other manufacturers peer vehicles.Odi sent an information request (ir) letter to volvo asking about the three concerns identified in the petition.The response indicated volvos cab air ride design has been in use since 2005.When evaluating each of the three concerns raised by the petitioners, odi found that the complaint and warranty data did not establish existence of a defect trend for cab sway or loss of control.There were no reported injuries or loss of control events and less than 0.02% of the population had a cab sway concern.The majority of claims and complaints received involved cab alignment.The 2015 my did stand out from the other mys with over 1% of the 2015 population reporting cab alignment issues.This may indicate there is a defect in the design or production of the cab mounting, however there was no indication it created a safety risk.Odi test drove the petitioners vehicle, employing an investigator with significant experience driving similar vehicles.This test drive revealed a degree of cab sway that appeared to exceed that of peer vehicles.Nonetheless, the odi driver did not experience any difficulty controlling the vehicle.For additional details see the attached evaluation report.This defect petition is denied. The agency has not identified an actionable trend or unreasonable risk to motor vehicle safety.Should new information become available the agency will take whatever further action is appropriate.The odi reports cited above can be reviewed at: http://www-odi.Nhtsa.Dot.Gov/owners/searchnhtsaid under the following complaint identification numbers:10747593, 10715844, 10701592, 10781242, and 10822454

• Stop lamp switch signal investigation # PE13002

  The office of defects investigation (odi) received early warning reporting (ewr) data from the manufacturer that indicated some number of subject vehicles equipped with the subject automated manual transmission had allegedly experienced a condition where the clutch failed to automatically disengage the transmission from the engine as intended. This may result in extended stopping distances and/or unintended forward motion of a vehicle previously at rest.To date, odi is aware of 134 subject vehicles with one or more complaints or field reports related to this condition.Also, odi is aware of 164 subject vehicles with one or more warranty claims related to this condition.By letter dated june 25, 2013, volvo trucks north america (volvo) notified odi that it has initiated a safety recall (nhtsa recall no. 13v268 and volvo recall no. Rvxx1303) to address a safety defect in approximately 23,003 model year (my) 2007 through 2014 volvo vah, vhd, vnl, vnm and vt model trucks. The affected vehicles were manufactured from december 20, 2006 through may 22, 2013 and were originally equipped with the subject automated manual transmissions.According to volvo, reports of the subject transmission clutch mechanism failing to automatically disengage as intended are associated with the removal of a brake pedal micro switch that provided a redundant signal to the transmission control module indicating the brakes had been applied.Previously, volvo had removed this brake pedal micro switch from new vehicle production and from certain vehicles already in-service via two field service campaigns (sp 432-024 and sp 432-026) because it decided the switch was unnecessary and/or a maintenance issue.In the absence of this redundant brake pedal micro switch, the clutch mechanism may fail to disengage the transmission from the engine at low vehicle speed should the stop lamp switch fail to send and/or the transmission control module fail to receive the primary signal.At the time of this closing, volvo is evaluating available remedies and will provide nhtsa with details when the recall remedy procedure has been finalized.Volvo will notify affected owners by mail by august 25, 2013.Please see nhtsa recall no. 13v268 for details.Accordingly, this investigation is closed.

On the first day i took this brand new 2014 volvo vnl sleeper truck off the lot the def system failed and shut my truck down i was barely able to get it back to the dealer's. Massive drive line vibration also felt but dealer could not figure out the problem six months later transmission failure. I also suffered 3 of 8 shock failure truck was floating and swaying in high winds very dangerous. The alternator failed six months later no warning starting over charging i was going through the system check and detected it before it blew an ecm. I also suffered a oil pressure sensor failure this problem has been in the volvo trucks since their 2009 model and they are still using the old sensors. I have suffered massive down time and loss of revenue due to this and hope they improve their product. Their are many other driver suffering these same problem but due to computer illiteracy they can't give voice to their issues thanks. *tr
