- Component:
- Engine and engine cooling
- Manufactured:
- 11/13/2002 - 10/05/2003
- Affected:
- 2,112
- Defect:
- On certain heavy-duty class 8 trucks, the assembled engine pre-heater jumper wiring harness was incorrectly assembled.
- Consequence:
- The engine pre-heater could overheat resulting in damage to the pre-heater and other engine heat sensitive components near the pre-heater and the ability to re-start the engine could be compromised, increasing the risk of a crash.
- Correction:
- Dealers will repair the affected circuits in the jumper wiring harness connector. owner notification is expected to begin during march 2004. owners who take their vehicles to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact volvo trucks at 1-800-528-6586.

- Component:
- Trailer hitches:fifth wheel assembly
- Manufactured:
- 09/30/2002 - 03/30/2004
- Affected:
- 1,374
- Defect:
- On certain trucks, a malfunction in the solenoid valve may allow air to be released to fifth wheel latch when the park brake is engaged.
- Consequence:
- This condition could cause the fifth wheel latch to release inadvertently when the park brake is engaged, creating the potential for loss of the trailer. a crash could occur without prior warning.
- Correction:
- Dealers will add an additional solenoid valve in series with the existing pneumatic circuit for the fifth wheel air release. the recall began on august 9, 2004. owners should contact volvo at 1-800-528-6586.

- Manufactured:
- 06/30/2000 - 06/10/2004
- Affected:
- 56,154
- Defect:
- On certain trucks equipped with valeo wiper systems, the wiper motor may be susceptive to salt intrusion that could possibly lead to a condition where the connector overheats to a point where the connector could ignite.
- Consequence:
- If this occurs, excessive heat and smoke could result in an under hood fire.
- Correction:
- Dealers will inspect and replace the connector plate on the windshield wiper motor. phase 2 of the recall began on november 1, 2004. owners should contact volvo trucks at 1-800-528-6586.

- Component:
- Seat belts
- Manufactured:
- 08/03/2000 - 06/21/2012
- Affected:
- 1,496
- 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.
- Correction:
- 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.
