2007 Volvo VN recalls

Seat belts

NHTSA campaign 12V510000 · reported October 18, 2012 · Volvo Trucks North America · 1,496 vehicles potentially affected

The 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."
The 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.
The 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.

Service brakes, air: supply, quick release valve

NHTSA campaign 10V571000 · reported November 12, 2010 · VOLVO TRUCKS NORTH AMERICA · 6,187 vehicles potentially affected

The 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.
The risk: Corrosion of the valve can cause it to malfunction, thereby adversely affecting braking performance and increasing the risk of a crash.
The 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.

Steering: gear box, shaft sector

NHTSA campaign 06V099000 · reported April 4, 2006 · VOLVO TRUCKS NORTH AMERICA, INC. · 2,137 vehicles potentially affected

The 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.
The 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.
The 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.
