According to National Highway Traffic Safety Administration documents, the recall affects certain 2022-23 Volvo VNL trucks.

There have been no accidents or injuries reported relative to this issue.

Dealers will replace the fasteners for free. Owners of affected Volvo VNL trucks were expected to receive a notification letter around Dec. 21.
