The 2020 VOLVO VNR has 0 complaints and 9 recalls filed with NHTSA. Owners most frequently report issues related to electronic and mechanical components, including adaptive cruise control and steering system malfunctions.
There are nine recalls affecting various systems on this vehicle, including the electrical propulsion system, braking system, steering components, transmission circuit, and labeling errors. The recalls involve defects that may increase the risk of crashes, electrical short circuits, or component failures. Repairs generally include inspections, part replacements, reprogramming, and issuing corrected labels free of charge.
Recalls- Traction battery coolant line. NHTSA recall 23V280000 affects 125 vehicles. The coolant line in the high voltage battery may not be fully seated causing coolant loss and electrical short circuits, increasing fire risk. Volvo will inspect and replace batteries as needed.
- Adaptive cruise control braking. Recall 23V255000 covers 236 vehicles with ACC. Aggressive braking under light load may cause rear axle skidding or brake lockup leading to loss of vehicle control. Dealers will disable ACC and remove related radar equipment.
- Transmission fuse failure. Recall 19V509000 involves 235 vehicles. A fuse in the transmission circuit may blow preventing shifting and increasing crash risk. Dealers will inspect and replace the fuse as necessary.
- Incorrect axle weight labels. Recall 20V384000 affects 89 vehicles. Rear axle weight rating on labels exceeds wheel hub limits, risking hub failure if overloaded. Owners will receive corrected labels from Volvo.
- Loose steering gear fasteners. Recall 20V241000 affects 23 vehicles. Fasteners may not be properly tightened risking loss of vehicle control. Dealers will tighten fasteners to specifications.
- Brake pedal plate defect. Recall 20V536000 covers 11,127 vehicles. The pedal plate may break at attachment points causing brake pedal dislodgement and inoperability. Inspection and replacement will be done if needed.
- Auxiliary air tank strap deformation. Recall 19V510000 involves 24,848 vehicles. Over-tightened t-bolt clasps may deform straps allowing tanks to drop, creating road hazards. Straps will be inspected and replaced if required.
- Steering gear mounting fasteners. Recall 19V756000 affects 2,287 vehicles. Insufficiently tightened fasteners may loosen steering gear causing loss of control. Dealers will re-torque and replace steering gear as necessary.
Owners with repeated repairs or unresolved recall issues involving critical safety systems may want to explore their rights under state lemon laws.

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL
Volvo Trucks North America (Volvo Trucks) is recalling certain 2020-2023 VNR Electric vehicles equipped with Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC). When the adaptive cruise control braking activates under light load conditions, it can trigger an aggressive braking response.
Risk: Overly aggressive braking can result in the rear axle skidding, the brakes locking up, and/or a loss of vehicle control, increasing the risk of a crash.
2020 VOLVO VNR
125 vehicles affected
ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:PROPULSION SYSTEM:TRACTION BATTERY:THERMAL MANAGEMENT:FLUID/COOLANT
Volvo Trucks North America (Volvo Trucks) is recalling certain 2020-2024 VNR Electric vehicles. The coolant line in the high voltage battery pack may not be fully seated and locked, which can result in the loss of coolant and an electrical short circuit.
Risk: A battery short circuit increases the risk of a fire.
2020 VOLVO VNR
89 vehicles affected
EQUIPMENT:OTHER:LABELS
Volvo Trucks North America (Volvo) is recalling certain 2018-2021 VNL and VNR buses. The Gross Axle Weight Rating (GAWR) for the rear drive axles stated on the Federal Certification Label exceeds the rating of the wheel hubs. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of 49 CFR Part 567, "Certification."
Risk: If the rear axles are overloaded, over time the wheel hubs may fail prematurely, increasing the risk of a crash.

SERVICE BRAKES, AIR
Volvo Trucks North America (Volvo Trucks) is recalling certain 2020-2021 VAH, VHD, VNL and VNR vehicles. The die cast pedal plate may break at one of its attachment points, possibly resulting in the brake pedal dislodging. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 121, "Air Brake Systems."
Risk: A dislodged brake pedal would be inoperable, increasing a risk of a crash.
2020 VOLVO VNR
23 vehicles affected
STEERING
Volvo Trucks North America (Volvo Trucks) is recalling certain 2020-2021 VNL and VNR trucks. The steering gear fasteners may have not been properly tightened.
Risk: The loose fasteners may result in a loss of vehicle control, increasing the risk of a crash.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:WIRING:FUSES AND CIRCUIT BREAKERS
Volvo Trucks North America (Volvo Trucks) is recalling certain 2018-2020 VAH, VHD, VNL, and VNR vehicles. The fuse in the transmission circuit may blow, preventing the transmission from shifting.
Risk: If the fuse blows the transmission may not shift, increasing the risk of a crash.
2020 VOLVO VNR
2287 vehicles affected
STEERING
Volvo Trucks North America (Volvo Trucks) is recalling certain 2020 VNL and VNR vehicles equipped with HD94 Sheppard gear variants. The steering gear mounting fasteners may be insufficiently tightened, allowing the steering gear to loosen.
Risk: A loose steering gear can cause a loss of vehicle control, increasing the risk of a crash.
2020 VOLVO VNR
24848 vehicles affected
POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
Volvo Trucks North America (Volvo Trucks) is recalling certain 2019-2020 VAH, VHD, VNL, and VNR vehicles. The t-bolt clasps on the transmission auxiliary air tank straps may have been over-tightened, resulting in potential deformation to the strap where the t-bolt is anchored.
Risk: The deformation of the air tank strap t-bolts may cause the t-bolt to disconnect from the strap allowing the tank to drop to the ground and become a road hazard, increasing the risk of a crash.
