The vehicle has five recalls addressing defects in electrical and safety systems. These recalls affect components such as the advanced electronic control unit, cabin heater relay, traction battery, and power cables connected to the windscreen heater relay.
Recalls- Advanced Electronic Control Unit. NHTSA recall 24V790000 affects 124,949 trucks including the VNRE models from 2020-2025. Electrical noise and low power line carrier signals may cause the ECU to misprocess commands or stop working. Safety systems dependent on the ECU, like traction control and collision mitigation, may lose functionality, increasing crash risk. Dealers will reprogram the ECU software at no cost.
- Cabin Heater Relay. NHTSA recall 23V025000 covers 135 VNRE trucks from 2019-2023. The relay can fail, causing the coolant heater to overheat, which raises the fire risk. The fix includes software updates for the hybrid powertrain control unit and instrument cluster plus relay replacement free of charge.
- Traction Battery Rivnut Inserts. NHTSA recall 23V512000 involves 172 vehicles from 2020-2024. Over-tightened rivnut inserts inside the high-voltage battery may break, potentially causing a short circuit and increasing fire risk. Dealers will replace the affected batteries at no cost.
- Windscreen Heater Relay Power Cables. NHTSA recall 23V401000 affects 243 vehicles from 2019-2023. Loose cable connections can cause relay failure, resulting in continuous cabin heater operation and relay overheating, which increases fire risk. Dealers will tighten cable connections free of charge.
Owners facing repeated repairs or unresolved safety recall issues with the 2020 VOLVO VNRE (ELECTRIC) may have rights under state lemon laws. Consulting a consumer protection attorney about these matters could be beneficial.
