2009 VOLVO VHD Recalls Canada & USA

2009 VOLVO VHD Recalls — Canada & USA

The 2009 Volvo VHD has 4 recalls, the most serious involving front suspension ball joints that can corrode and wear through over time, eventually failing and causing a complete loss of steering control. A braking concern also exists on trucks equipped with an air release fifth wheel: a valve on the frame can be oriented in a way that allows contaminants inside, corroding it and reducing braking performance. On trucks fitted with snow plow lamp preparation kits, the snow plow headlights can be switched on independently of the marker and tail lamps, meaning the truck may be running with its sides and rear unlit and harder for other drivers to see. There is also a certification label issue where the tire information printed on the label may be incorrect, which can lead to the vehicle being loaded beyond its actual safe limit.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING

Defect

Volvo Trucks North America (Volvo) is recalling certain 2004-2019 Volvo VHD trucks equipped with snow plow lamp preparation kits. The snow plow headlights can be turned on without other exterior lights, and high beam indicator will not work when the snow plow high beams are on. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 108, "Lamps, Reflective Devices, and Associated Equipment."

Safety Risk

The driver may operate the vehicle with the snow plow headlights on but the marker and tail lamps off, reducing the vehicle's visibility and increasing the risk of a crash.

Remedy

Volvo will notify owners, and dealers will update the software related to the plow lights, free of charge. The recall began December 19, 2018. Owners may contact Volvo customer service at 1-800-528-6586. Volvo's number for this recall is RVXX1804.
