What this recall means for you
Some trucks built between April 2014 and August 2015 may have headlights that do not meet the minimum light intensity required by federal lighting standards. As a result, the headlights may not adequately illuminate the roadway ahead, which increases the risk of a crash, especially when driving at night or in low-visibility conditions.
If your truck is affected, the manufacturer will notify you by mail. Authorized dealers will replace the headlights at no cost to you. You can also contact Volvo customer service at 1-800-528-6586, referencing recall number RVXX1505. Check your vehicle identification number (VIN) for open recalls to confirm whether your truck is included.
