2003 Volvo VNL recall: windows, wipers & mirrors
⚠️ What's wrong
On certain heavy duty class 8 trucks, the sleeper section upper side window glass may de-bond from the window opening slide track mechanism.
💥 The risk
If the window is open and this event occurs, the window glass could separate from the window frame and become a hazard to an oncoming vehicle and/or person.
🔧 The fix
Dealers will replace the window. Owner notification began on february 26, 2003. Owners who take their vehicles to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact volvo trucks at 1-800-528-6586.
Is the fix free? Yes. Safety recall repairs are free at any authorized dealer under federal law, including parts and labor. (Vehicles more than 15 years old when the recall was announced can be excluded, but most manufacturers still fix them.)
