Buying a used 2026 Volvo VNL (4)? Check these 14 recalls first
Ten recalls, and one changes how the truck should be handled: wheel nuts that may loosen until a wheel detaches, flagged stop-driving. A second critical campaign covers sudden loss of steering control, alongside high-rated items for roll-away despite the parking brake, instrument panel failure while driving, loss of anti-lock brakes and stability control, and loose steering bolts. Four unverified owner complaints are on file — power train, service brakes, back over prevention, structure — with no crashes, fires, or injuries.
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 stop-driving wheel nut recall was repaired before the truck is driven or test driven.
- Verify by VIN that both steering campaigns — loss of control and loose steering bolts — are closed.
- Test the parking brake on a grade, check the instrument panel and ABS lamps, and try the interior door releases.
- Open recalls are repaired free at any Volvo dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
