Volvo recalls US trucks for incorrect tyre labels
ERJ staff report (TB)
Washington DC -- Volvo Trucks North America is recalling 1,926 trucks for possible incorrect tyre information on the vehicle certification labels.
The trucks are models VHD, VNL and VNM, model years 2008-2011, and model VT, model years 2008-2010.
The trucks were manufactured between Aug. 13, 2007 and March 26, 2010, Volvo told the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). The incorrect information, the truck maker said, could cause drivers to load their trucks beyond a safe level for their tyres.
Volvo will inspect the certification labels and replace any with faulty tyre information. It expects to begin the recall by Dec. 1. Vehicle owners may call Volvo at 800-458-1552.
