What this means for you

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a risk-of-harm product where the defect creates a road hazard and increases the risk of a crash, but no injuries or fatalities have been reported in the source text.

Plain-English summary

Volvo Trucks North America is recalling certain model year 2009-2010 VNL, VT, and VN trucks manufactured between March 1, 2008, and February 6, 2009. The recall involves a defect in the bottom track that attaches to the arms used to open and close the window. This track may de-bond, resulting in the glass coming loose at the bottom.

The defect may cause the upper window hinges to fail, allowing the glass to fall out of the window frame. This creates a road hazard and increases the risk of a crash. The source text does not report any specific injuries or fatalities associated with this defect.

Dealers will inspect and repair the affected vehicles free of charge. The safety recall began on December 1, 2010. Owners may contact Volvo Trucks at 1-800-528-6586 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
