What's wrong?
The tires on 2011-2014 Volvo Vah and Vnl trucks carry the truck's weight, keep the tread in contact with the road, and absorb heat created by speed, load, and pavement temperature. They are designed to hold their shape and air pressure while the truck is working, including under highway use and cargo load.
In this recall, the tire is the affected component. Under operating conditions such as high speed, heavy load, and high road temperature, affected trucks can experience premature tire failure. That means the tire reaches a failure point earlier than expected during service, instead of continuing to support the truck through the normal operating range.
There is no warning sign before failure. An owner or driver should not expect a dashboard alert, a noise, or another clear signal before the tire fails.

What happens at the repair
At the dealer, a Volvo technician replaces the tires covered by recall 14V740 and sets the road speed limiter for the truck. Volvo's recall filing states that this work is free of charge. Because the filing does not give a current remedy status, confirm parts availability and scheduling with the Volvo dealer before bringing the truck in. The dealer repair will be free once available, and the service desk can explain whether the limiter setting affects normal use for your route.
