What's wrong?
The certification label on a 2008-2011 Volvo Vt, Vnl, Vhd, or Vnm is the permanent label that lists key vehicle information for owners, inspectors, and service shops. For this recall, the important item is the tire description, which tells someone reading the label what tire specification belongs on that vehicle.
On affected Volvo vehicles, that tire description is printed incorrectly on the certification label. The recall is about bad information on the label, not a failed tire part. If an owner or service shop relies on the wrong label information, the vehicle can be matched with tire information that does not reflect the certified setup for that truck.
There is no warning sign before failure. Owners will not hear, smell, or feel a change from an incorrect label, so the problem is found by checking whether the VIN is included and having the label corrected.

A matching year and model does not guarantee inclusion. Check your VIN to confirm whether this recall applies to your specific truck.
What's the safety risk?
Incorrect labels can lead an owner or operator to overload the vehicle, which increases crash risk. If your VIN is included, avoid loading near the vehicle's stated limits until the labels are inspected and replaced. Repair will be free at any franchised Volvo dealer once available.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2008-2011 Volvo Vt, Vnl, Vhd, or Vnm is included in this recall.
- Contact a franchised Volvo dealer and ask whether the free certification-label inspection and replacement is open for your VIN.
- Bring the recall notice if Volvo mailed one. If not, reference recall number 10V492 when you call.
- Avoid loading the truck based only on the tire information shown on the certification label until Volvo confirms or replaces the label.
What happens at the repair
At the dealer, a Volvo technician inspects the certification label and replaces labels that list the tire description incorrectly. The recall documents say this label work is free of charge and began on February 25, 2011. Because the remedy status for this page is not marked available, confirm with a Volvo dealer that the label kit is ready before arranging service. Once the repair is open for your VIN, parts and labor are covered under the recall.
