2016 VOLVO VHD Recalls Canada & USA

2016 VOLVO VHD Recalls — Canada & USA

The 2016 Volvo VHD has 3 recalls, the most serious involving front ball joints that can corrode and wear to the point of complete steering failure. Faulty seals on the drag link ball joints allow water and road contamination inside, and over time the resulting wear can cause the joint to fail entirely, leaving the driver without steering control. On certain trucks equipped with snow plow lamp kits, the snow plow headlights can be switched on independently of the marker and tail lamps, meaning the truck may appear unlit to other drivers from the side and rear while the operator believes the lighting is fully active. There is also a label recall affecting certain trucks where the certified gross axle weight rating for a pusher or tag axle may be printed incorrectly, which can lead an operator to overload that axle without realizing it.

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.
