| 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. | ||||||

| I bought a commercial volvo truck vt880 in february 2006 and since than i've been in services 27 times for a total of 17 weeks and for this matter i am in a very bad financial situation,the matter of fact i'm thinking to declare bankruptcy and i want to hold volvo responsible for the bad truck that they deliver to me and for my financial situation. i contact a lemon law lawyer in february this year and i just found out that volvo is refusing to help us with the tens of thousand of dollars that i lost because the truck was in services so many times. i'm still using this truck but to this day i am on and off services. i made so many complains with the volvo action but nobody call me back ,i tried to contact somebody from the volvo headquarters but everybody ignore me. i'm afraid the truck it will be down again soon and i can't manage anymore. the only hope that i had it was the lawyer ,but he decided to no longer represent me. *tr | |||
