What this recall means for you
Some 2020 Volvo VNL trucks have a sleeper bunk window whose hinge and mounting hardware may not hold the window in place when the truck is driven with that window open. The window could detach from the vehicle while driving.
If a window comes off, it could strike another vehicle or a pedestrian, raising the risk of a crash or injury. Owners should check whether their truck is covered by this recall, and avoid driving with the sleeper bunk windows open until the repair is completed.
The repair is free: authorized Volvo dealers will replace the window hinge at no charge. Contact Volvo Trucks customer service at 1-800-458-1552, and check your VIN for open recalls.
