The 2013 Volvo VN has 2 recalls, the most serious involving front lower ball joints that can corrode, wear, and ultimately separate, causing a complete loss of steering control.
The second recall affects trucks equipped with bench passenger seats, where the seatbelt's d-ring anchor weld may not be strong enough to hold under crash forces, allowing the belt to pull free and fail to restrain the passenger.
