The defect
Volvo Trucks North America (Volvo) is recalling certain 2018-2021 VNL and VNR buses.

The risk
If the rear axles are overloaded, over time the wheel hubs may fail prematurely, increasing the risk of a crash.

Volvo will notify owners and send corrected replacement labels, free of charge. The recall began August 18, 2020. Owners may contact Volvo customer service at 1-800-528-6586. Volvo's number for this recall is RVXX2002.
