Issue

Certain buses were built with headlamps that may not meet the performance requirements of Canadian regulations. As a result, the headlamp beam pattern may be too bright in some areas and not be bright enough in others.

Safety risk

Headlamps that are too bright could cause glare for oncoming drivers. Headlamps that are not bright enough may reduce visibility. Both of these issues could increase the risk of a crash.

Corrective actions

Volvo Buses will notify owners by mail. The corrective actions for this recall are under development.

Background

Visit Transport Canada’s Motor Vehicle Safety Recalls Database for the original recall.
