Buying a used 2024 Volvo VN? Check these 7 recalls first
Seven recalls, five of them high-severity, and several concern engine and throttle behavior: trucks that may not return to idle, that can speed up on their own, and loose engine gear bolts that can stall the engine. Loose steering gear bolts and loss of electronic safety systems are also covered. Medium items are a bench seat that may loosen and an incorrect weight label. The single owner complaint on file — unverified — reports a crash and an injury.
Before you buy
- Get the 17-character VIN from the seller and run it at nhtsa.gov/recalls. It shows which recalls are still unrepaired on that exact car.
- Confirm the idle-return, unintended acceleration, and engine gear bolt recalls were all completed
- Verify the steering gear bolt recall remedy and have the torque checked
- Compare the weight label to the spec sheet and test-drive for throttle response and safety system warnings
- Open recalls are repaired free at any Volvo dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
