https://carrecalltracker.com/volvo/NHTSA vehicle safety recalls explained in plain English. https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/26v513000/https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/26v513000/Thu, 06 Aug 2026 00:00:00 +0000Certain 2026-2027 Volvo VNL and VNR trucks may have a center roof marker light that does not light up. Marker lights are the small lamps across the top of the cab that show other drivers how tall and wide the truck is, especially at night or in bad weather. With one out, the truck is harder to see and judge, and it does not meet the federal lighting rule. Dealers will replace the center roof marker light free of charge. https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/26v444000/https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/26v444000/Thu, 09 Jul 2026 00:00:00 +0000On these Volvo trucks, the bolts joining the steering arm to the steering knuckle — the parts that turn the front wheels when you turn the wheel — may not have been tightened enough at the factory. If those fasteners are loose, the steering arm can move when it should not, and the driver can lose steering control of the truck. A dealer will check the fasteners and tighten any that are not right. https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/26v350000/https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/26v350000/Thu, 28 May 2026 00:00:00 +0000The nuts holding the wheels on these trucks can work loose, and a wheel can come off entirely. A wheel coming off can make you lose control of the truck, and the loose wheel itself becomes a danger to other people on the road. Volvo says not to drive these trucks until they are repaired. A dealer will check the wheel and hub surfaces, clean off any leftover masking material, and replace worn parts at no cost. https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/26v260000/https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/26v260000/Thu, 23 Apr 2026 00:00:00 +0000On these Volvo trucks, the electrical connectors on the rear brake units may be missing a protective cover. Without it, the connectors can short out. If that happens, the anti-lock brakes and the electronic stability control stop working, so the wheels can lock up in hard braking and the truck becomes harder to keep straight. Your dealer will inspect those connectors, install a protective cover, and replace the rear brake units if they need it. https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/26v208000/https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/26v208000/Wed, 01 Apr 2026 00:00:00 +0000Certain Volvo VNL and VNR trucks have turn signals that may not work the way they should. The turn signal is how you tell drivers around you that you are about to turn or change lanes. If it does not come on properly, other drivers get no warning about what you are doing, which can lead to a crash. Because of this, the trucks do not meet the federal safety rule for lamps and signals. A dealer will reprogram the turn signal software. https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/26v184000/https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/26v184000/Wed, 25 Mar 2026 00:00:00 +0000On 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. https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/26v186000/https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/26v186000/Wed, 25 Mar 2026 00:00:00 +0000On some 2025-2026 Volvo VNL trucks, the service brakes can take longer than they should to let go after you come off the pedal. That means the brakes may stay on for a moment when you expect the truck to start moving again. Federal air brake rules set a limit on how long that release can take, and these trucks do not meet it. Dealers will add an extra brake valve and fittings to the truck's air lines, free of charge. https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/26v136000/https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/26v136000/Wed, 11 Mar 2026 00:00:00 +0000The chime that reminds you to buckle up may not sound. A bad electrical connection at the audio module keeps the warning beep from playing, so a driver or passenger riding unbelted may never get the reminder. The seat belts themselves still work normally; only the alert is affected. Because of this, the vehicle does not meet the federal safety rule for seat belt warnings. A dealer will replace the connector parts at no charge. https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/26v103000/https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/26v103000/Fri, 20 Feb 2026 00:00:00 +0000The large battery that powers some 2025 Volvo EX30 vehicles can short out inside and get too hot, which can lead to a fire. Until your vehicle is repaired, Volvo says you should charge the battery no higher than 70 percent. A dealer will inspect the battery and replace any battery sections that need it, free of charge. Owner letters went out in August 2026, and this recall replaces an earlier one. https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/26v076000/https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/26v076000/Tue, 10 Feb 2026 00:00:00 +0000Certain Volvo VNL trucks built without auxiliary parking brakes may not stay put when parked. When the truck is in weight bias mode, too little of its weight sits on the axle that carries the parking brake, so the brake does not have enough grip to hold the truck. The truck can roll away on its own. Dealers will replace the brake chambers so the parking brake holds properly. Volvo mailed owner letters in May 2026. https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/26v001000/https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/26v001000/Fri, 02 Jan 2026 00:00:00 +0000The large battery that powers your EX30 can short out inside and get too hot, which Volvo says raises the risk of a fire. Until the vehicle is fixed, Volvo wants owners to park outside and away from buildings, and to charge the battery no higher than 70 percent. A dealer will inspect the battery and replace modules if needed, free of charge. Volvo says this recall has been replaced by a newer one, number 26V103. https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/25v908000/https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/25v908000/Tue, 23 Dec 2025 00:00:00 +0000When you shift into reverse, the screen may stay blank instead of showing the view from the backup camera. Without that picture you cannot see what is directly behind the car — a child, a pet, a low post — so it is easier to back into something. A software update fixes it, either at the dealer or sent to your car over the air. Cars already repaired under the earlier recall need this new fix too. https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/25v802000/https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/25v802000/Thu, 20 Nov 2025 00:00:00 +0000These 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. https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/25v804000/https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/25v804000/Thu, 20 Nov 2025 00:00:00 +0000These trucks have headlights that are supposed to switch from high beam down to low beam on their own when another vehicle comes toward you. On the affected trucks that automatic dimming may not happen, so the bright high beams can stay on and shine into the eyes of oncoming drivers. Volvo will send a software update over the air that turns the automatic high-beam feature off for now, at no cost. https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/25v753000/https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/25v753000/Mon, 03 Nov 2025 00:00:00 +0000Volvo built certain VAH trucks from 2019 through 2026 without enough reinforcement in the floor under the passenger seat belt. The spot where the belt bolts to the floor can pull loose or break. In a crash, the belt would not hold the passenger in place the way it is supposed to. These trucks do not meet the federal rule for seat belt anchors. A dealer welds in a new nut and washer to make the anchor strong again. https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/25v757000/https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/25v757000/Mon, 03 Nov 2025 00:00:00 +0000On certain 2026 Volvo VNL trucks, the marker lights in the middle of the roof may not light up at all. These are the small lights that let other drivers see how wide and how tall your truck is, especially at night or in bad weather. With them dark, other drivers may not notice the truck in time. The trucks do not meet the federal rule for lamps. A dealer replaces the center roof marker light. https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/25v654000/https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/25v654000/Tue, 30 Sep 2025 00:00:00 +0000On certain 2025 EX90s, a nut inside the motors that raise and lower the power tailgate can come loose and fall off. If that happens, the tailgate can drop suddenly instead of staying up, and it could come down on someone standing behind the car. Volvo tells owners not to use the power tailgate feature until the repair is done. A dealer will replace both tailgate motors free. Owner letters were mailed November 24, 2025. https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/25v621000/https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/25v621000/Thu, 18 Sep 2025 00:00:00 +0000On some 2025-2026 new Volvo VN trucks, a body control module was not built correctly. When a trailer is hooked up, the trailer's lights may fail to come on. That means the tail lights and turn signals at the back of the trailer can stay dark, so drivers behind you may not see the trailer clearly or know when you are about to turn. Dealers will replace the module that feeds power and signals to the trailer lights. https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/25v620000/https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/25v620000/Thu, 18 Sep 2025 00:00:00 +0000Some 2026 Volvo VN trucks left the factory with the cable inside the interior door handle hooked up wrong. When that happens, pulling the inside handle will not open the door. Anyone in the cab could be stuck, which matters most after a crash or any time someone needs to get out quickly. The dealer replaces the door latch cable and the small clip that holds it, free of charge. Owner letters went out November 11, 2025. https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/25v520000/https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/25v520000/Mon, 11 Aug 2025 00:00:00 +0000These Volvo trucks have a feature that helps steer the truck back straight if the rear starts to slide out. On certain 2025-2026 New VN trucks, that feature can act up on its own and move the steering when you don't want it to, so you could lose control of where the truck is pointed. Volvo's fix is to shut the feature off, either by a wireless software update sent to the truck or by a dealer. https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/25v392000/https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/25v392000/Thu, 12 Jun 2025 00:00:00 +0000On these Volvo plug in hybrids and electric models, the software that runs the braking system has a flaw. In certain situations, when you are coasting down a hill using B mode on a hybrid or One Pedal Drive on an electric model, the brakes can stop working. Volvo says not to use those two driving modes at all until the fix is done. The repair is a software update that can be sent to the car over the air or done at a dealer. https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/25v282000/https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/25v282000/Thu, 08 May 2025 00:00:00 +0000Volvo is recalling a long list of 2021-2025 models, including the XC40, XC60, XC90, S60, S90, V60, V60CC, V90, V90CC, C40, EC40 and EX40. When you shift into reverse, the backup camera picture may not appear on the screen, so you cannot see what is behind the vehicle. The fix is free software, installed either at a dealer or sent to the car over the air. Owner letters were mailed June 27, 2025. https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/25v257000/https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/25v257000/Thu, 17 Apr 2025 00:00:00 +0000Inside the engine of these Volvo trucks, a gear called the idler gear is held in place by bolts on a bracket. Those bolts may not have been tightened properly. If they loosen, the gear can come away from the engine and tear up parts inside it. The engine can then stall, leaving you without power in traffic. Dealers will inspect the truck and replace the turbo compound unit if needed, at no cost to you. https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/25v102000/https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/25v102000/Tue, 18 Feb 2025 00:00:00 +0000On certain 2023-2025 Volvo VNL and new VN trucks, the air brakes can take longer to start working than they should after you press the pedal. The delay is long enough that the truck fails the federal air brake standard. Even a short lag adds distance before the truck comes to a full stop. Volvo dealers will install a new air line setup, called a pneumatic circuit, free of charge. https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/25v071000/https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/25v071000/Fri, 07 Feb 2025 00:00:00 +0000These Volvo EX90s have covers, or shutters, that sit over the headlights. Because of a software error in one of the vehicle's control units, those shutters can close over both the low and high beams while you are driving. If that happens at night or in bad weather, your headlights are blocked and you suddenly cannot see the road ahead, and other drivers have a harder time seeing you. The fix is a software update that a technician loads into the vehicle by hand. https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/24v869000/https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/24v869000/Tue, 19 Nov 2024 00:00:00 +0000On some 2025 EX90 models, the bolts that hold a second-row free-standing seat to the vehicle may not have been tightened enough when the car was built. A seat that is not bolted down tightly may not hold a passenger properly in a crash, so that person could be hurt worse than they otherwise would be. The fix is quick: a Volvo dealer checks each of those bolts and tightens any that are loose, free of charge. https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/24v788000/https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/24v788000/Wed, 23 Oct 2024 00:00:00 +0000The brake pedal is joined to the braking system by a rod held in place with a screwed connection. On these Volvo hybrids, that connection may be loose. If it works its way apart, pressing the pedal may not slow the car the way it should, and you could lose your brakes while driving. A dealer simply tightens the connection. If the pedal ever feels loose, soft or different from normal, stop driving and call for help right away. https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/24v790000/https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/24v790000/Wed, 23 Oct 2024 00:00:00 +0000These trucks have a control unit that runs several driver-assist and braking systems. Electrical interference and a weak signal can make that unit misread commands or quit working. When it does, anti-lock brakes, traction control, stability control, adaptive cruise control, and the collision warning system can work poorly or stop working at all. A dealer fixes this by loading new software into the control unit, which does not require replacing parts. https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/24v741000/https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/24v741000/Thu, 03 Oct 2024 00:00:00 +0000On certain 2022-2024 Volvo VN trucks, the computers that talk to each other over the truck's internal network can lose communication, which puts the truck into a reduced-power "limp" mode. When that happens, the truck can read the gas pedal wrong and speed up when the driver is not asking it to. That failure also means these trucks do not meet the federal safety rule for accelerator controls. Dealers will load corrected software into the control unit at no cost. https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/24v010000/https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/24v010000/Wed, 10 Jan 2024 00:00:00 +0000A software glitch in the car's central electronics module can stop the left rear turn signal from working. When you signal a left turn, the light at the back of the car on that side may not blink, so drivers behind you get no warning that you are about to turn. Volvo will fix it with a software update, either at a dealer or sent to the car over the air, free of charge. https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/23v816000/https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/23v816000/Tue, 05 Dec 2023 00:00:00 +0000Certain 2024 Volvo VN and VHD trucks with size 295/75 or 385/65 Continental tires on the front axle have a sticker that lists the wrong maximum weight the front axle can carry. Because the number on the certification label is too high, the truck can be loaded past what it should safely handle. Nothing mechanical is broken — the information is simply wrong. A dealer will peel off the incorrect label and put on a correct one, free of charge. https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/23v793000/https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/23v793000/Wed, 22 Nov 2023 00:00:00 +0000On some 2023-2024 Volvo VN trucks, the sensor that tells the engine where the gas pedal is can come unplugged. If that happens, the engine is supposed to drop back to idle within two seconds, but it may not. The engine could keep pulling while you are trying to slow down, which makes the truck hard to control. This breaks the federal rule for accelerator controls. Volvo will put in a new throttle pedal and update the software. https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/23v769000/https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/23v769000/Wed, 15 Nov 2023 00:00:00 +0000The bench seat on the passenger side may not be properly attached to the floor. The welded nut holding it down was not made strong enough, and that same area anchors the seat belt. In a crash the attachment points can fail, letting the whole bench seat and the person in it shift out of place. Dealers will fix it by taking out the weld nut and putting in two nuts and a washer instead. https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/23v511000/https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/23v511000/Mon, 24 Jul 2023 00:00:00 +0000The gears inside the windshield wiper motor can wear down sooner than they should. Once they do, the motor stops turning and the wipers stop moving. In rain, snow, or road spray you would be left looking through a blurred or covered windshield with no way to clear it, and that can happen suddenly while you are driving. The dealer swaps in a whole new wiper motor assembly at no charge to you. https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/23v441000/https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/23v441000/Fri, 23 Jun 2023 00:00:00 +0000The bolts that hold the steering gear in place may not have been tightened properly at the factory. The steering gear is the part that turns your steering wheel motion into the wheels actually turning. If those bolts are loose, you can lose control of the truck while driving. The dealer will tighten the steering gear bolts to the correct specification. The check and the repair cost you nothing. Volvo is mailing letters to owners of the affected trucks. https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/23v403000/https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/23v403000/Sun, 04 Jun 2023 00:00:00 +0000Some 2022-2024 Volvo VNL and VHD trucks built with RollTek driver seats are missing an electrical connection. Because that circuit is missing, the side airbag in the driver seat will not go off in a crash. The airbag is simply not connected, so the protection you expect in a side impact is not there. A dealer adds a jumper harness between the seat and the truck's main wiring to complete the circuit. https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/23v280000/https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/23v280000/Wed, 19 Apr 2023 00:00:00 +0000On certain 2020-2024 Volvo VNR Electric trucks, a coolant line inside the high-voltage battery pack may not be pushed all the way in and locked. If it is loose, coolant can leak out of the pack. That leak can cause an electrical short inside the battery, and a short in a large battery pack can lead to a fire. Volvo Trucks is working with the battery maker, Akasol, to inspect the batteries and replace them if needed. https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/23v255000/https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/23v255000/Fri, 07 Apr 2023 00:00:00 +0000Some Volvo VNR Electric trucks built for model years 2020 through 2023 have adaptive cruise control, the feature that slows the truck automatically to keep space from traffic ahead. When the truck is running light, that system can grab the brakes far harder than it should. The sudden hard braking can make the rear wheels skid or the brakes lock up, and the driver can lose control. Dealers will remove the radar parts and turn the feature off. https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/23v001000/https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/23v001000/Thu, 05 Jan 2023 00:00:00 +0000When the steering gear was put together at the factory, two screws may have been stacked on top of each other. If that happened, one screw can come loose and drop down inside the steering gear housing. A loose screw in there can jam the parts that turn your front wheels, and the steering wheel can lock up without warning while you are driving. Volvo dealers will replace the entire steering gear unit on affected vehicles. https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/22v896000/https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/22v896000/Tue, 06 Dec 2022 00:00:00 +0000These trucks carry an air tank that stores compressed air for the brakes. The bolts holding the tank's bracket were tightened too much at the factory and may have already cracked or broken. If enough of them fail, the tank can come loose and fall off the truck onto the road, where it becomes a hazard for you and for traffic behind you. Your dealer will put in new fasteners at no charge.
