Why it matters

A loss of ABS and ESC could increase the risk of a crash.

What the dealer will do

Volvo Trucks will notify owners by mail and advise you to take your truck to a dealership to inspect and, if necessary, replace the rear brake modulator(s). The dealer will also install a cover on the connector(s).

What is wrong

On certain trucks, a software problem could cause the trailer turn signal lights not to work when towing. Note: This problem would cause an error message to display on the instrument panel.

Why it matters

What the dealer will do

To reduce the safety risk, Volvo Trucks advises you to test the trailer turn signals before driving, until the recall repairs are completed. Volvo Trucks will notify owners by mail and advise you to take your truck to a dealership to update the vehicle software.

What is wrong

On certain trucks, the automatic high beams may not switch to low beams automatically. As a result, the trucks may not meet certain requirements of Canadian regulations.

Why it matters

High beams that stay on could cause glare for oncoming drivers and increase the risk of a crash.

What the dealer will do

To reduce the safety risk, Volvo Trucks recommends you switch manually between the low beams and high beams until the recall repairs have been completed. Volvo Trucks will notify owners by mail and advise you to take your vehicle to a dealership to update the vehicle software.
