Volvo Trucks Recall 2008-2011 Models for Incorrect Certification Labels
Volvo Trucks North America is recalling certain 2008-2011 VHD, VNL, VNM, and VT trucks because the tire description on the certification label may be incorrect.
What this means for you
Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 2/5 (Moderate).
Minor labeling or packaging issue, or a voluntary precautionary recall. Risk of harm is low but real — follow the manufacturer's instructions.
Our severity reasoning: The recall addresses a labeling error that could theoretically lead to overloading and increased crash risk, but no specific injuries or fatalities are reported in the source text, fitting the criteria for a moderate severity labeling issue.
Plain-English summary
Volvo Trucks North America is recalling certain model year 2008-2011 VHD, VNL, and VNM trucks, as well as 2008-2010 VT trucks. The recall is due to a failure to comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard Part 567, "Certification."
The defect involves the tire description on the vehicle's certification label, which may be incorrect. This misinformation could lead to vehicle overloading, which can increase the risk of a crash.
Dealers will inspect and replace the labels free of charge. The safety recall began on February 25, 2011. Owners may contact Volvo at 1-800-458-1552 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
