The 2019 Volvo VAH has 4 recalls, with the most serious being an air tank strap defect where over-tightened mounting hardware can allow the transmission auxiliary air tank to drop from the vehicle, creating a road hazard and leaving the transmission unable to shift.
The electrical system also has a concern: a fuse in the transmission circuit can blow and cut power to the transmission, again leaving the driver unable to shift gears. On the safety equipment side, the passenger seatbelt anchor may lack adequate floor reinforcement, meaning the anchor can pull free in a crash and fail to hold the occupant.
