ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
If the mounting points crack and tear or the attaching bolts loosen or fail, the power unit may detach from the truck, becoming a road hazard and increasing the risk of a crash.
15V524000
SERVICE BRAKES
If the brake handle does return to the off position, the trailer service brakes may drag causing the wheel end to overheat and potentially cause a wheel end fire or tire blowout. Either condition increases the risk of a crash.

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
If the drivetrain does not re-engage, the vehicle's stopping distance may be lengthened, increasing the risk of a crash.

This page is about a model, not a car
Two 2014 VOLVO VNLs 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.
