Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
Volvo Trucks North America is recalling certain 2015 and 2016 VNX and VNL trucks manufactured between May 20, 2014, and March 6, 2015, that are equipped with specific Haldex Life Seal Type 30/30 Long Stroke Air Brake Actuators made between January 9, 2014, and October 28, 2014. The affected actuators may have an incompletely attached internal rubber diaphragm, which could allow internal leakage and trap air pressure in the parking brake section.
If air pressure becomes trapped and is not vented, the parking brake actuator may not fully release, potentially causing brake drag and overheated wheel-end service brakes that could result in fire. Volvo will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the brake actuator and replace it free of charge if necessary. Affected consumers should contact Volvo customer service at 1-800-528-6586 and reference recall number RVXX1501.

If the diaphragm is not completely attached, there may be internal leakage from the service section past the diaphragm, potentially trapping air pressure in the parking brake section. This air pressure in turn, if not vented, may prevent full release of the actuator unit, and may induce brake drag and may result in overheated wheelend service brakes, increasing the risk of a fire.
Volvo will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the brake actuator and replace, as necessary, free of charge. The recall began March 20, 2015. Owners may contact Volvo customer service at 1-800-528-6586. Volvo's number for this recall is RVXX1501.
