Issue

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.
