What is being recalled
Volvo Trucks North America is recalling certain model year 2013-2014 VNL vehicles manufactured April 2, 2012, through May 3, 2013; and equipped with a Meritor RPL-20 driveline transmission. The driveshaft is too weak for this application and may fail.
Why it is dangerous
Failure of the driveshaft can result in debris on the roadway and disabling of the truck, which can increase the risk of a crash.
The fix (free at any franchised dealer)
Volvo will notify owners, and dealers will replace the driveshaft, free of charge. The recall began on October 9, 2013. Owners may contact Volvo at 1-336-393-2000. Volvo's recall number is RVXX1305.
Recall repairs are always free, regardless of vehicle age or where you bought the car. Quote the campaign number 13V-366 when calling a dealer.
