What's wrong, in plain English
Volvo is recalling certain VNL and VNR trucks because the turn signals may not work properly. A turn signal that doesn't work as it should cannot reliably show other drivers which direction the truck is about to turn. Because of this, the affected trucks do not meet a federal safety standard covering lights, reflective devices, and other equipment used to signal a driver's intentions on the road. The recall covers software used to control the turn signal indicators.
