Volvo VN in the other registers
This site holds seven national and European registers. Volvo VN is named on 99 American notices. Those are separate campaigns, filed with separate authorities on their own schedules.

Nothing here says any of these is this notice in another country. A model recalled in one country is often recalled in another, in different words and at a different time, and the authorities do not cross-reference each other. Reading them together is the reason this site holds more than one register.

On certain vehicles, the rear drive axle spindles were overheated during fabrication's heat treatment process. Such a condition compromises the overall structural integrity of the spindle, and therefore could result in a fracture of the spindle. If a spindle fractures while the vehicle is in motion, it may cause wheel separation, which could lead to a loss of vehicle control and a crash. Correction: Dealers will inspect the spindle for suspect heat codes and replace the axle if necessary.
The wording above is the department's own, as it stood in the monthly file this site last read. Vehicle counts are the sum of the counts published for each make and model the recall covers. To act on a recall, use the official notice: Transport Canada recall 2005377.

Reading this against the source
This page is what Transport Canada published in the Vehicle Recalls Database, kept as it was read. The authority publishes only its current wording; if a notice is rewritten, the earlier version disappears there and is kept here. The whole register is at /canada, and how the reading is done is set out in the method.
What the words on this notice mean — the system it is filed under, and what the filing type says about who found the fault.
This register keeps an index of its own for every maker and every year it holds: Canadian recalls on a Volvo: 312 in the register, and 404 Canadian vehicle recalls filed in 2005.
