Volvo Trucks North America "Volvo" is recalling certain 2018-2021 VNL and VNR buses. The Gross Axle Weight Rating "GAWR" for the rear drive axles stated on the Federal Certification Label exceeds the rating of the wheel hubs. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of 49 CFR Part 567, "Certification."
If the rear axles are overloaded, over time the wheel hubs may fail prematurely, increasing the risk of a crash.
Volvo will notify owners and send corrected replacement labels, free of charge. The recall began August 18, 2020. Owners may contact Volvo customer service at 1-800-528-6586. Volvo's number for this recall is RVXX2002.
