 Odi opened recall query rq11-001 after a review of ewr field reports identified lower bunk window separations on the subject vehicles.volvo had issued three recalls for sleeper window separations since 2003.additionally, volvo had issued two bulletins for sleeper window issues during the same time period.the frequency of related actions led odi to open this formal investigation.an information request (ir) letter was sent to volvo on 23 june 2011.volvo responded on 17 august 2011 and then provided updated warranty information on 9 january 2012.volvo provided production change data and warranty information which was correlated to vehicle build month and failure date.odi analyzed the data to determine if additional production time frames should have been included in previous recalls.odi also requested information from its network of fleet owners.the response from this network reaffirmed the accuracy of the updated warranty information.based on the information and data received, odi has concluded that all production periods have been appropriately addressed by volvo's previous recalls and no additional recall action is required at this time.

 During odi's routine review of ewr field reports it discovered a fleet had the lower bunk windows replaced in all 125 my 2010 and 2011 vehicles.this action occurred shortly after recall 10v-359 was issued for upper bunk windows separating on 3,984 my 2010 and 2011 vehicles.volvo issued two additional recalls to address bunk window concerns.recall 10v-086 remedied 3,526 vehicles on 9 march 2010 and 03v-038 remedied 2,435 vehicles on 6 feb 2003.volvo issued tsb 844-03 (july 2009) and parts information bulletin 844-005 (july 2009) to address a new upper bunk window.odi contacted volvo after receiving these documents and a voq but did not open an investigation at that time.odi is concerned that there may be unidentified/unremedied vehicles in operation.therefore an rq has been opened to fully identify all vehicles that may have been effected during any of the several manufacturing periods when the inadequate bonding agent was utilized.
