- 11010812Volvo Trucks has identified that the Selective Catalyst Reduction (SCR) system in certain vehicles equipped with the MY 2017 or 2018 (13L VGT) engine are not meeting California and EPA emissions standards, or Volvo cannot confirm its compliance. These vehicles have been flagged due to telematics data showing that the NOx conversion efficiency of the SCR system has dropped below 94% for eight weeks. Alternatively, these vehicles may have communication issues with telematics, such as not reporting or ceasing reporting for the same period.
