Volvo VNL trucks can lose steering control suddenly

NHTSA campaign 25V520000 · Reported 2025-08-11 · Volvo Trucks North America

critical How serious is it? About this label

This is serious, because losing steering control can cause a crash with no warning, so get the update done right away and drive carefully until it is finished.

What's wrong, in plain English

These Volvo trucks have a feature that helps steer the truck back straight if the rear starts to slide out. On certain 2025-2026 New VN trucks, that feature can act up on its own and move the steering when you don't want it to, so you could lose control of where the truck is pointed. Volvo's fix is to shut the feature off, either by a wireless software update sent to the truck or by a dealer.

What you should do

1. Enter your VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls to confirm your truck is included.
2. Contact Volvo Trucks at 1-800-528-6586 (recall RVXX2506) and ask whether your truck gets the over-the-air update or needs a dealer visit.
3. Have the update or dealer repair done as soon as possible; it is free.
