2018 VOLVO VNL Recalls — Canada & USA

The 2018 Volvo VNL has 6 recalls, the most serious being a clutch defect on trucks equipped with an Eaton automated manual transmission where failed clutch components can prevent the transmission from shifting to neutral, causing the truck to move unexpectedly even with the parking brake applied. On the engine side, trucks fitted with a Cummins ISX15 diesel can develop a restricted fuel pump cooling screen under certain conditions, such as long downhill grades, causing a fuel line to burst and spill fuel onto the road. There are also two structural concerns that apply to 740 and 760 sleeper models: the sleeper bunk window may not be properly secured and can detach while the truck is in motion, becoming a road hazard for other drivers and pedestrians. Finally, a label issue affects certain trucks where the certified rear axle weight rating listed on the Federal Certification Label is higher than what the wheel hubs can actually handle, meaning overloading the rear axles over time can cause the hubs to fail prematurely.
