Volvo 9700: Lights and Instruments

Affects Volvo 9700 · 2009–2021 — about 32 vehicles.

The hazard

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.
