Summary
Certain vehicles may fail to conform to Canada Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 210 – Seatbelt Assembly Anchorages. The weld used to secure the nut to the center-passenger seatbelt D-ring mounting bracket may not be sufficient to meet the strength requirements of the Standard. Failure of the seatbelt D-ring anchorage to restrain the occupant would increase the risk of personal injury during a crash. Correction: Dealers will replace the D-ring for the middle seating position.
Summary
On certain trucks equipped with an air release fifth wheel hitch, 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 causing it to malfunction and in some cases result in unintended opening of the fifth wheel's locking mechanism. This could allow the trailer to separate from the towing vehicle while underway. Also, an air loss could increase vehicle stopping distance and result in a crash causing property damage or personal injury. Correction: Dealers will inspect and replace the inversion valve if required.
Summary
On certain vehicles, the steering shaft pinch bolt hole may be incorrectly located. As a result, the steering shaft may separate from the steering gear which could lead to a sudden loss of vehicle control and a crash. Correction: Dealers will inspect and, if required, replace the steering shaft.
Summary
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."
Potential Consequence
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.
Remedy
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.
