Issue: rnOn certain trucks, the Gross Axle Weight Rating (GAWR) for rear drive axles exceeds the load rating of the wheel hubs. This could cause the hubs to fail prematurely. If this happens, a wheel could separate from the truck. rn rnSafety Risk: rnA wheel separation could increase the risk of a crash. A wheel that detaches from a vehicle could also create a hazard for other drivers and nearby people.rn rnCorrective Actions: rnVolvo will notify owners by mail and provide them with a new compliance label that has a lower GAWR.
