Volvo VNL trucks: load lock clamps may loosen

NHTSA campaign 25V802000 · Reported 2025-11-20 · Volvo Trucks North America

medium How serious is it? About this label

Moderate: a loose bar or lost cargo on the road is a real hazard to other drivers, but the notice does not tell owners to stop driving the truck.

What's wrong, in plain English

These Volvo VNL trucks carry load lock bars, the bars used to brace cargo, in clamps mounted on the back of the cab. Those clamps can loosen over time, which leaves the bars unsecured. A bar that works its way free can fall from the truck onto the road, where other drivers may hit it or swerve to avoid it, and cargo can be lost as well. A dealer replaces the clamps with new ones at no charge.

What you should do

1. Look up your VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls to confirm your truck is included. 2. Contact your Volvo Trucks dealer or Volvo Trucks customer service at 800-528-6586 (recall RVXX2512) to schedule the work. 3. Have the load lock clamps replaced; the repair is free.
