Campaign:
11V050000 on 01/31/2011
Component:
Electrical system:battery
Manufactured:
03/22/2010 - 12/21/2010
Affected:
1,847
Defect:
Volvo trucks is recalling certain model year 2011 vnl trucks manufactured from march 23, 2010, through december 22, 2010. there is a potential for the vehicle to start without warning because of an unintended path to ground that exists. this can occur when either the negative battery cable is disconnected at the battery/fusible link or if the fusible link opens as a result of a short circuit.
Consequence:
This presents a risk of injury with nonoperational conditions such as when the vehicle is being serviced.
Correction:
Dealers will replace a wiring harness free of charge. the safety recall began on april 13, 2011. owners may contact volvo trucks at 1-800-528-6586.
Notes:

Campaign:
11V265000 on 05/02/2011
Component:
Service brakes, air:slack adjusters
Manufactured:
10/14/2010 - 01/30/2011

Consequence:
Slack adjusters with this flow notch could crack under normal braking conditions causing loss of braking which could result in a vehicle crash.
Correction:
Volvo trucks will notify owners and dealers will replace the subject slack adjusters free of charge. the safety recall is expected to begin on or about august 12, 2011. owners may contact volvo trucks at 1-800-528-6586.

Campaign:
11V460000 on 09/06/2011
Component:
Trailer hitches:fifth wheel assembly
Manufactured:
04/30/2010 - 01/30/2011
Affected:
299
Defect:
Volvo trucks is recalling certain model year 2011-2012 vnl and vnm trucks manufactured from may 1, 2010, through january 31, 2011. during the coupling process, it is possible for the driver to partially close the fifth wheel lock and if solely relying on a tug test (pull test), the driver may think that the fifth wheel lock is properly coupled to the trailer king pin when in fact it is not properly coupled.
Consequence:
If the driver drives away with a trailer that is not properly coupled, the trailer can come loose and potentially result in a vehicle crash.
Correction:
Dealers will notify owners, and dealers will replace the lock bar free of charge. the safety recall began on december 7, 2011. owners may contact volvo trucks at 1-800-528-6586.
Notes:

Component:
Service brakes, air:supply:check valve
Manufactured:
12/01/2010 - 01/17/2012
Affected:
21,625
Defect:

Consequence:
Inadvertent brake application can cause the brakes to overheat and lead to a fire. inadvertent brake application can cause the wheels to lock-up leading the driver to lose control of the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.
Correction:
Volvo will notify owners, and provide a temporary repair until bendix develops a permanent remedy. a permanent remedy has been developed and notification to owners began on april 27, 2012. this service will be performed free of charge. owners may contact volvo trucks at 1-800-528-6586.

Consequence:
Overheated brake components could result in a fire.
Correction:
Volvo will notify owners and the brake chambers will be replaced as needed, free of charge. the safety recall is expected to begin on, or before, june 17, 2013. owners may contact volvo at 1-336-393-2000. volvo's campaign recall number is rvxx1302.

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:

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.
