STRUCTURE:BODY
- The defect
- Volvo Trucks North America (Volvo Trucks) is recalling certain 2020 VNL vehicles. The window hinge and mounting hardware are insufficient to hold the window in place if the truck is driven with the sleeper bunk windows open.
- What it can cause
- If a window detaches from the vehicle, it may strike another vehicle or pedestrian, increasing the risk of a crash or injury.
- What the dealer does
- Volvo Trucks has notified owners, and dealers will replace the window hinge, free of charge. The recall began October 29, 2020. Owners may contact Volvo Trucks customer service at 1-800-458-1552. Volvo Trucks' number for this recall is RVXX2005.
- NHTSA's note
- Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.
The repair is free, whatever the age or mileage of the vehicle, and whether or not you are the original owner.
Which vehicles
A recall reaches a range of VINs inside these model years, not every car built in them. Yours may not be covered even if it is listed here, and the only way to find out is NHTSA's own VIN lookup .

How this campaign compares
At 8,456 vehicles this is a bigger campaign than 78% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers one model year, 2020, and the defect was reported to NHTSA in 2020, at or before the oldest model year it covers — as current as a recall gets.
Volvo vehicles have been recalled over the structure 8 times before this, most recently in March 2019 as 19V208000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 4 other recalls published here: 23V900000 (steering), 20V536000 (service brakes, air), 20V384000 (equipment), 20V241000 (steering).
Check your own car
A VIN check is the only answer for a specific vehicle, and it also shows every other open recall on it, which is usually the reason it is worth doing rather than reading one campaign.
Filed by Volvo Trucks North America with NHTSA on October 5, 2020 as campaign 20V613000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
