What is being recalled
Volvo Trucks North America (Volvo Trucks) is recalling certain 2022 VNL vehicles equipped with Cummins X15 diesel engines. The capscrews that attach the flywheel to the crankshaft may have been improperly torqued, allowing the flywheel to detach.
Why it is dangerous
A detached flywheel can cause loss of drive power, increasing the risk of a crash. Additionally, driveline pieces may be ejected from the engine compartment, increasing the risk of injury.
The fix (free at any franchised dealer)
The affected vehicles are still within the manufacturer's control. The Volvo Trucks manufacturing facility will properly torque the capscrews and inspect for possible damage and, if necessary, repair any damage found, free of charge. The recall began January 5, 2021. Owners may contact Volvo Trucks customer service at 1-800-528-6586.
Recall repairs are always free, regardless of vehicle age or where you bought the car. Quote the campaign number 21V-065 when calling a dealer.
