2019 VOLVO VNL Recalls — Canada & USA

The 2019 Volvo VNL has 7 recalls, the most serious being a fifth wheel coupling that can allow the trailer to detach from the tractor and a clutch assembly defect on automated manual transmission models that can cause the truck to move unexpectedly. On the tire and fuel side, certain Bridgestone tires fitted to some trucks have exposed steel cords in the sidewall that can cause a sudden blowout, and trucks with Cummins ISX15 diesel engines can develop a blocked fuel pump cooling screen that causes the fuel line to burst and spill fuel on the road. A separate chassis concern involves the transmission auxiliary air tank, where over-tightened mounting straps can deform and release the tank onto the roadway. On 740 and 760 sleeper models, the bunk window can detach from the vehicle and strike nearby vehicles or pedestrians. There is also a labeling recall: the rear axle weight rating printed on the certification label overstates what the wheel hubs can handle, and running at those posted limits can cause the hubs to fail prematurely.
