What You're Actually Buying
This kit covers the hood latch assemblies on a Volvo VNL — the mechanical catches, not the hinges or hood itself. Depending on the model year, you're looking at VNL 300/430/630/670/730/780 series, and Volvo changed this design a few times over the years so the kit exists to cover the common revision most trucks on the road are running now.
It's a kit because the latches usually get replaced in pairs — driver and passenger side. Doing one and leaving the other worn is how you end up back under the hood in six months chasing a rattle or a hood that doesn't sit flush.
Some kits include keyed lock cylinders, some don't — that's usually the difference between the plain number and the KTP suffix version. Worth checking what your old part actually had before you order.
Why All These Numbers Cross
20498998KTP, 20878648, 20878651, 8074949, and 8081359 are all Volvo's own part numbers from different production runs and running changes — Volvo revises these more often than you'd think, usually bracket shape or latch arm geometry, not the core mechanism. 3187264 is an older Volvo OE alt number that shows up on earlier trucks still running around.
20565618, 20565619, 20356094, 20415174, 315-5223, and S20832 are the aftermarket and cross-reference numbers that manufacturers use to point back to the same physical latch. The 315-5223 and S20832 numbers in particular come from parts houses that repackage the Volvo-spec latch under their own line.
The thing to watch is the latch arm length and the mounting bracket hole pattern — trucks with a raised or modified hood setup, or ones that got a fairing kit, sometimes need a slightly different arm. If your old latch has extra shims or a bent bracket someone jury-rigged years ago, don't assume the new one bolts straight up without checking.
Ordering From Us
We keep 20498998 on the shelf here in Tacoma along with the KTP version, and if you're local, most orders go out same-day if you call before early afternoon. Ship nationwide too, no different than anyone else moving truck parts, just without the runaround.
Surest way to confirm fit — pull the number stamped or molded on your old latch, or better yet get us the VIN. Volvo's latch changes aren't always visible from across the shop, and matching by year alone has burned people before.
Everything we sell comes with the standard 6+ month warranty. If it shows up and doesn't match your old unit, call before you install it — easier to sort out before it's bolted to the hood.

Frequently asked questions
Does 20498998 fit my 2016 VNL 670?
Likely, but confirm by VIN or by the number on your existing latch before ordering. Volvo ran a few different latch revisions through the VNL lineup and year alone isn't a guaranteed match.
Is this the same as the S20832 cross-reference part?
S20832 cross-references to the same latch design as 20498998, meaning it's built to interchange with it. It's not a Volvo-branded part, it's an aftermarket number pointing at the same physical component — check your old part's number to be sure it lines up.
Does this kit come with the lock cylinders and keys?
Depends on which version you order — the KTP suffix typically includes the keyed lock cylinders, the base number may not. Check what your old latch had installed before ordering so you're not missing pieces.
