2013 VOLVO VHD Recalls Canada & USA

2013 VOLVO VHD Recalls — Canada & USA

The 2013 Volvo VHD has 4 recalls, the most serious involving a parking brake that can drag when released and overheat brake components to the point of causing a fire, and a front suspension ball joint that can corrode and fail, causing complete loss of steering control. There is also a drivetrain concern on trucks equipped with the Eco-Roll feature: after the system coasts with the drivetrain disconnected, it may fail to re-engage, reducing engine braking and extending stopping distances. On the lighting side, trucks equipped with snow plow lamp preparation kits can have their snow plow headlights activated without turning on the marker and tail lamps, making the truck harder for other drivers to see from the sides and rear.

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.
