Plain-English summary

Volvo Trucks North America is recalling certain 2019-2026 Volvo VAH trucks due to a defect in the passenger seat belt anchor. The anchor may fail due to inadequate floor reinforcement, which prevents the seat belt from properly restraining an occupant during a crash.

The defect affects the seat belt assembly anchorage and violates Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 210. To remedy the issue, dealers will install a new weld nut and washer at no charge to owners.

Approximately 242 vehicles are affected across model years 2019 through 2026.
