2005 VOLVO VN Recalls (2)
- Campaign:
- 05V311000 on 07/11/2005
- Component:
- Suspension
- Manufactured:
- 01/31/2004 - 11/29/2004
- Affected:
- 10
- Defect:
- On certain heavy duty class 8 trucks, equipped with holland air suspension systems, a transverse beam casting may fracture under normal loads. if a casting breaks when the vehicle is traveling on a roadway there is the potential for pieces of the casting to become projectiles and the suspension?s transverse beam may drop down low enough to contact the road surface.
- Consequence:
- This will cause sparks that could potentially ignite and cause a fire.
- Correction:
- Dealers will inspect and replace the defective transverse beam assemblies. the recall began on august 26, 2005. owners may contact volvo trucks at 1-800-528-6586.
- Notes:
- Volvo trucks recall no.rvxx0503.customers may also contact the national highway traffic safety administration's vehicle safety hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (tty: 1-800-424-9153); or go to http://www.safercar.gov.
- Campaign:
- 12V510000 on 10/21/2012
- 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.
- Notes:
- Volvo's recall campaign number is rvxx1204.owners may also contact the national highway traffic safety administration vehicle safety hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (tty: 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.
