What's wrong, in plain English
Volvo Trucks is recalling certain VN and VHD trucks that have size 295/75 or 385/65 Continental tires on the front axle. The certification label on these trucks lists the wrong gross axle weight rating, the weight the axle is rated to carry. Because the listed rating is wrong, the truck can be loaded beyond what it should carry, and the truck does not meet the federal certification rule. Dealers will remove the label and put on a correct one, free of charge.
What you should do
2. Contact a Volvo Trucks dealer, or Volvo Trucks customer service at 1-800-528-6586, to have the label replaced (the recall number is RVXX2314).
3. The label replacement is free.
Where do I find my VIN, and what do I tell the dealer?
