MAY 2011 -- Volvo Trucks is recalling certain model year 2011-2012 VHD, VNL, and model year 2012 VNM trucks manufactured from October 15, 2010, through January 31, 2011, and equipped with Gunite automatic slack adjusters. Due to an incomplete "knitting" of the iron at the time of casting, inadequate structuralintegrity of the slack adjuster housing can occur, which could cause the housing to break at the handleunder normal operating loads. Slack adjusters with this flow notch could crack under normal braking conditions causing loss of braking which could result in a vehicle crash. 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 before July 1, 2011.  . 11V-265

MAY 2011 -- Volvo Trucks is recalling certain model year 2012 VHD, VNL, AND VNM trucks equipped with a Meritor driveline. The tubing used to assemble the drivelines has a nonconforming seam weld with insufficient bonding of the material. This can result in seam weld fracture when torque is applied. Once the tube seam weld is fractured, the driveline may become inoperable, which may result in a disabled vehicle or debris from the driveline falling onto the roadway, both of which can increase the risk of a crash. Dealers will replace the drivelines free of charge. The safety recall is expected to begin on or before July 1, 2011.   11V-294

JANUARY 2011 - 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. This presents a risk of injury with nonoperational conditions such as when the vehicle is being serviced. Dealers will replace a wiring harness free of charge. The safety recall is expected to begin on or before March 18, 2011. 11V-050

NOVEMBER 2010 -- Volvo Trucks is recalling certain model year 2007 and 2009 VHD, model year 2006 through 2010 VN, and model year 2007 through 2009 VT trucks manufactured from November 7, 2005, through October 30, 2009, equipped with an air release fifth wheel. The inversion valve on the frame may be orientated where contaminants can enter the valve through the exhaust port. As a result, the brake valve may corrode. Corrosion of the valve can cause it to malfunction, thereby adversely affecting braking performance and increasing the risk of a crash. Dealers will inspect the inversion valve and replace as required. This service will be performed free of charge. The safety recall is expected to begin on or before January 10, 2010.   10V-571

OCTOBER 2010 -- Volvo is recalling certain model year 2008-2011 VHD, VNL, VNM, as well as 2008-2010 VT vehicles for failing to comply with the requirements of Part 567, "Certification." The tire description may be incorrect on the vehicle's certification label. The misinformation on these labels could lead to a vehicle overloading that can increase risk of a crash. Dealers will inspect and replace the labels free of charge. The safety recall is expected to begin on or before December 1, 2010.   Volvo safety recall no. RVXX1005. 10V-492

The bottom track that attaches to the arms used to open and close the window may de-bond, which results in the glass coming loose at the bottom. The upper window hinges may fail and allow the glass to fall out of the window frame creating a road hazard and increasing the risk of a crash. Dealers will inspect and repair as required free of charge. The safety recall is expected to begin on or before October 4, 2010.   10V-359

JUNE 2010 -- Volvo Trucks is recalling certain model year 2001-2006 VNL and VNM trucks manufactured with a TRW sealed drag links.

Volvo will notify owners of precautions to take until repairs can be made about June 15, 2009. Owners may contact Volvo Trucks at 1-800-528-6586.  09V-173

JANUARY 2009 -- Volvo Trucks is recalling 366 MY 2006-2009 VNL trucks equipped with super single tires, Bendix brake cam tubes, and Volvo air suspension.

Dealers will add a support bracket to the brake cam tube. The recall isexpected to begin on or about March 23, 2009. Owners may contact Volvo Trucks at 1-800-528-6586.  09V-030
