The short answer
NHTSA received Volvo Trucks North America’s report on Apr 18, 2017. Copied from NHTSA on Oct 19, 2026.
Every line below is in NHTSA’s own words, with its source beside it.
What’s wrong with it?
If the GAWR information is incorrect, the operator may overload the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.
Volvo Trucks North America (Volvo) is recalling certain 2015-2017 VHD trucks.
The Gross Axle Weight Rating (GAWR) for the pusher or tag axle may be incorrect on the certification label.
As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of 49 CFR Part 567, “Certification.”

What the record doesn’t say

- How many have been returned or fixed isn’t in the notice.
