Recalls- Traction battery coolant line. NHTSA recall 23V280000 affects 125 vehicles. The coolant line in the high voltage battery pack may not be fully seated and locked, which can result in coolant loss and an electrical short circuit. A battery short circuit increases the risk of fire. Volvo will inspect and replace batteries as needed free of charge.
- Adaptive cruise control braking. NHTSA recall 23V255000 affects 236 vehicles. Aggressive braking may occur under light load, causing rear axle skidding, brake lockup, or loss of vehicle control, increasing crash risk. Dealers will disable adaptive cruise control and secure related components at no cost.
- Incorrect axle weight rating label. NHTSA recall 20V384000 affects 89 vehicles. The Federal Certification Label lists a rear axle rating exceeding hub capacity, risking premature hub failure if overloaded. Corrected labels will be sent free of charge.
- Hubcap compression spring. NHTSA recall 21V417000 affects 1050 vehicles. The spring may cause the hubcap to separate, creating a road hazard. Dealers will remove the hubcap free of charge.
- Loose steering gear fasteners. NHTSA recall 20V241000 affects 23 vehicles. Improperly tightened fasteners may lead to loss of vehicle control. Dealers will tighten fasteners at no charge.
- Improperly installed king pin nut. NHTSA recall 20V535000 affects 12 vehicles. Missing or loose king pin nuts can cause the knuckle to separate from the axle, increasing crash risk. Inspections and repairs will be performed free of charge.
- Brake pedal pedal plate failure. NHTSA recall 20V536000 affects 11,127 vehicles. The die cast pedal plate may break, resulting in brake pedal dislodging and inoperability. Inspections and replacements are provided free of charge.
- Pneumatic brake line fitting defects. NHTSA recall 20V782000 affects 6,982 vehicles. Damaged collets on brass fitting inserts may release air brake lines, causing unexpected park brake application and loss of driver control. Dealers will inspect air brake line fittings free of charge.
Owners dealing with repeated repairs, safety defects, or unresolved recall issues on the 2021 VOLVO VNR may have rights under their state’s lemon law. Consulting a consumer protection attorney can help determine eligible remedies.

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.
2021 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.
2021 VOLVO VNR
1050 vehicles affected
WHEELS:HUBCAP/COVER
Volvo Trucks North America (Volvo Trucks) is recalling certain 2021-2022 VAH, VDH, VNL, AND VNR vehicles. The hubcap compression spring can cause the hubcap to separate.
Risk: A separated hubcap can create a road hazard, increasing the risk of a crash.
2021 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.
2021 VOLVO VNR
11127 vehicles affected
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.
2021 VOLVO VNR

STEERING
Volvo Trucks North America (Volvo Trucks) is recalling certain 2021 VNL, VHD, and VNR vehicles. The king pin nut may not have been installed or properly tightened during axle assembly.
Risk: If the king pin is missing or not tightened properly, the knuckle may separate from the axle, increasing the risk of a crash.
2021 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.

6982 vehicles affected
SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:CRITICAL FASTENERS
Volvo Trucks North America (Volvo Trucks) is recalling 2021 VNL, VNR, VAH, and VHD vehicles. The collets (internal jaws) for the brass fitting inserts used in the pneumatic pass-through plate may have been damaged during leak testing. As a result, the brass fitting may completely release the air brake line from the pass-through plate while under pressure. If this occurs on the park brake circuit, signal pressure that holds off the mechanical spring in the park brake chambers will be lost allowing the park brakes to apply.
Risk: If the park brakes apply unexpectedly, the driver may lose control of the vehicle, increasing the risk of a vehicle crash.
