This 2013 VOLVO VN recall affects the SEAT BELTS Manufactured by Volvo Trucks North America from 2000-08-04 through 2012-06-22

Description Of Defect

Volvo is recalling certain model year 2002-2013 VHD and VN trucks, manufactured from August 4, 2000, through June 22, 2012, and equipped with bench passenger seats.
