Recall campaigns 6 of 6
16V735000
SUSPENSION:FRONT:CONTROL ARM:LOWER BALL JOINT
If water and contaminants enter the ball joint, corrosion can occur and lead to accelerated wear, which over time can result in failure of the ball joint, possibly resulting in complete loss of steering, increasing the risk of a crash.
13V268000
POWER TRAIN:CLUTCH ASSEMBLY
Without a signal to disengage the clutch when the brakes are applied, the distance required to stop the truck may lengthen, increasing the risk of a crash.
13V152000
PARKING BRAKE:CONVENTIONAL:AIR
Overheated brake components could result in a fire.
13V102000
ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:12V/24V/48V BATTERY:CABLES
Loose or chafed cables may lead to overheating of the battery cable and switch which may result in a fire.
12V510000
SEAT BELTS
In the event of a crash, an insufficient seat belt weld may prevent the seat belt from properly restraining the occupant. This increases the risk of injury to the seat occupant.

This page is about a model, not a car
Two 2013 VOLVO VHDs can have entirely different histories, and a recall campaign usually covers a build-date window rather than a whole model year — which a VIN does not encode, so only the door-jamb label settles it. Scanning the VIN adds the decode, the crash tests, the fuel economy and the complaints matched to that exact engine, trim and assembly plant.
