The 2018 Volvo VHD has 2 recalls, the more serious being a transmission fuse that can blow and leave the truck unable to shift gears, raising the risk of a crash.
On certain trucks equipped 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 appear dark from the sides and rear while the front lights are active. The high beam indicator also fails to work when the snow plow high beams are on, so the driver may not realize high beams are engaged.
