2021 VOLVO VAH; 2021 VOLVO VNL; 2021 VOLVO VHD; 2021 VOLVO VNR
Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
Volvo Trucks North America is recalling certain 2021 VNL, VNR, VAH, and VHD vehicles because the brass fitting inserts in the pneumatic pass-through plate may have been damaged during manufacturing, causing the air brake line to completely release from the plate while under pressure. If this occurs in the park brake circuit, the park brakes may apply unexpectedly, potentially causing the driver to lose control of the vehicle and increasing the risk of a crash.
Volvo Trucks will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the air brake line for proper engagement of the fitting in the pass-through plate at no charge. Owners may contact Volvo Trucks customer service at 1-800-528-6586 with questions about recall number RVXX2006.

Volvo Trucks North America (Volvo Trucks) is recalling 2021 VNL, VNR, VAH, and VHD vehicles. The collets (internal jaws) for the brass fitting inserts used in the pneumatic pass-through plate may have been damaged during leak testing. As a result, the brass fitting may completely release the air brake line from the pass-through plate while under pressure.
