- Component:
- Power train:clutch assembly
- Manufactured:
- 12/19/2006 - 05/21/2013
- Affected:
- 23,056
- Defect:
- Volvo trucks north america (volvo) is recalling certain model year 2007-2014 vah, vhd, vnl, vnm, and vt models. the affected vehicles were built without a redundant clutch disengagement switch. without a redundant switch, a loss of signal from the brake air pressure switch can prevent the clutch from automatically disengaging when the brake is applied.
- Consequence:
- Without a signal to disengage the clutch when the brakes are applied, the distance required to stop the truck may lengthen, increasing the risk of a crash.
- Correction:
- Volvo trucks will notify owners and dealers will inspect and repair the vehicles if necessary. the recall began on august 26, 2013. volvo's recall number is rvxx1303. owners may contact volvo at 1-336-393-2000.

- Defect:
- Volvo trucks north america (volvo) is recalling certain model year 2014-2015 vah, vnl, and vnm trucks manufactured march 4, 2013, to april 28, 2014. due to the bolts holding the disc brake caliper to the backing plate not being tightened to the specified torque, the disc brake caliper may detach from the backing plate.
