The 2005 Volvo VN has two recalls, the most serious involving an air suspension transverse beam casting that can fracture under normal loads, potentially sending broken pieces onto the road and creating sparks that could start a fire.
The second recall affects trucks equipped with bench passenger seats: the weld holding the seatbelt upper anchor ring may not be strong enough, and in a crash the belt anchor can pull free, leaving the passenger unrestrained and raising the risk of injury.

What can fail
On certain heavy-duty trucks with Holland air suspension systems, a transverse beam casting in the suspension may crack under normal driving loads. If it breaks while driving, casting pieces could scatter, and the suspension beam could sag and hit the road.
What the fix does
Dealers will inspect the transverse beam assembly and replace it if defective.
