Volvo Trucks North America (VTNA) has recalled 25,000 VAH, VHD, VNL, and VNR model vehicles manufactured from July 2, 2018 through March 28, 2019 for a defect affecting the torque applied to the t-bolt clasps on the transmission auxiliary air tank straps, according to a report by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). 

The report states that the straps may have been over-torqued, potentially causing deformation to the strap where the t-bolt is anchored.

This defect may cause the tank to drop to the ground, releasing debris on the road and presenting a safety risk to other drivers.

According to the report by NHTSA, Volvo has not received any reports of vehicle crashes as a result of the defect but is taking all necessary measures, assuring the air tank strap will be inspected and replaced if damaged.
