Plain-English summary

Volvo Trucks North America is recalling certain 2023-2026 New VNL trucks. The recall addresses a defect where the hazard switch back lighting may become inoperative. This condition causes the vehicles to fail to comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 101, "Controls and Displays."
