Manufacturer Campaign Number: RVXX1503
Manufactured Begin Date: January 31st, 2011
Manufactured End Date: June 25th, 2015

Defect Summary:
Volvo Trucks North America (Volvo) is recalling certain model year 2012-2016 VAH trucks manufactured January 31, 2011, to June 25, 2015, and equipped with a sealed drag link.

Manufactured Begin Date: March 14th, 2013
Manufactured End Date: April 28th, 2014

Defect Summary:
Volvo Trucks North America (Volvo) is recalling certain model year 2014-2015 VAH, VNL, and VNM trucks manufactured March 4, 2013, to April 28, 2014.
