What is wrong
Volvo Trucks North America (Volvo) is recalling certain 2015-2017 VHD trucks. The Gross Axle Weight Rating (GAWR) for the pusher or tag axle may be incorrect on the certification label. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of 49 CFR Part 567, "Certification."
The risk
If the GAWR information is incorrect, the operator may overload the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix
Volvo will notify owners and provide a corrected label along with instructions on how to properly affix the new label to their vehicle, free of charge. The recall began June 15, 2017. Owners may contact Volvo customer service at 1-[removed]. Volvo's number for this recall is RVXX1701.
Notes from the manufacturer
