Buying a used 2023 Volvo VNL? Check these 3 recalls first
The 2023 list is much shorter than the prior year's: two high-severity recalls — air tank mounting bolts that can break and drop the tank, and a side airbag that may not work — plus a medium recall for a wiper motor that can stop working. None carry stop-driving or park-outside instructions. One owner complaint has been filed with NHTSA, in the electrical system, with no crashes, fires, or injuries reported. Owner complaints are unverified.
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 air tank bolt recall was completed and inspect the tank mounting hardware
- Ask for proof the side airbag recall remedy was performed on this VIN
- Run the wipers through all speeds and ask about any electrical faults the seller has had
- Open recalls are repaired free at any Volvo dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
