Swedish truck maker Volvo has recalled 125,000 trucks in North America due to the danger of short circuits in the lighting system.

Because of the fire danger, all the trucks produced in North America since 2003 are being recalled.

The company has described the fault in the lighting system as a heating problem which could cause a short circuit and start a fire.

Volvo, which sells products under the brands of Volvo, Renault and Mack, has seen its sales in North America plummet since the beginning of the year, amid strong growth in other markets, especially Asia.
