Volvo VNL truck instrument panel can fail while driving
high How serious is it? About this label
Serious, because the panel can go dark without notice while you are on the road, which raises crash risk; the notice does not say to park the truck, but schedule the fix quickly.
What's wrong, in plain English
On some 2025-2026 Volvo VNL trucks, the instrument panel can quit while you are driving. If it goes out, you lose the gauges and warning lights, including your speedometer, so you cannot see how fast you are going or whether the truck is reporting a problem. Federal safety rules require these displays to keep working. Volvo Trucks dealers will replace the instrument cluster at no cost to you. Owner letters for this recall went out in May 2026.
What you should do
2. Contact your Volvo Trucks dealer, or Volvo Trucks at 800-528-6586 (recall RVXX2603).
3. Have the instrument cluster replaced — the repair is free.
