2007 Volvo VN recalls
Recall 12V-510: Seat Belts
Problem: Volvo is recalling certain model year 2002-2013 VHD and VN trucks, manufactured from August 4, 2000, through June 22, 2012, and equipped with bench passenger seats. The seat belt d-ring weld may not be sufficient enough to meet the seat belt pull test. Therefore, these vehicles fail to conform to the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 210, "Seat Belt Assembly Anchorages."
Risk: In the event of a crash, an insufficient seat belt weld may prevent the seat belt from properly restraining the occupant. This increases the risk of injury to the seat occupant.
Fix: Volvo Trucks of America will notify owners, and dealers will replace the suspected d-ring, free of change. The safety recall began on May 10, 2013. Owners may contact Volvo at 1-336-393-2000.
Recall 10V-571: Service Brakes, Air
Problem: Volvo trucks is recalling certain model year 2007 and 2009 vhd, model year 2006 through 2010 vn, and model year 2007 through 2009 vt trucks manufactured from november 7, 2005, through october 30, 2009, equipped with an air release fifth wheel. The inversion valve on the frame may be orientated where contaminants can enter the valve through the exhaust port. As a result, the brake valve may corrode.
Risk: Corrosion of the valve can cause it to malfunction, thereby adversely affecting braking performance and increasing the risk of a crash.
Fix: Dealers will inspect the inversion valve and replace as required. This service will be performed free of charge. The safety recall is expected to begin on or before february 18, 2011. Owners may contact volvo trucks at 1-800-528-6586.
Recall 06V-099: Steering
Problem: On certain heavy duty class 8 trucks equipped with dana steering shafts, there is a potential that the steering shaft pinch bolt hole may be incorrectly located. The pinch bolt fits into a groove in the steering gear input shaft to ensure that the steering shaft does not separate from the steering gear if the pinch bolt comes loose.
Risk: This could potentially lead to steering shaft separation resulting in loss of control of the vehicle if the pinch bolt were to come loose increasing the risk of a crash.
Fix: Dealers will inspect the steering shaft and replace it as required free of charge. The recall began on august 28, 006. Owners may contact volvo trucks at 1-800-528-6586.
