The 2000 Volvo VN has 2 recalls, both concerning the same issue: salt spray can work into the windshield wiper motor connector, cause it to overheat, and start an engine compartment fire.
Salt intrusion into the wiper motor connector builds enough heat to ignite the connector itself, which can then spread to surrounding underhood components. This recall affects trucks equipped with Valeo wiper systems.
