Volvo Recalls — Canada & USA

Volvo has 123 models with recall activity in our database, spanning 1974 through 2027. Across those models, 832 recall campaigns are recorded, and the breakdown skews heavily toward the more serious end of the severity rating system: 47% of campaigns fall into the Critical tier and 32% into the High tier, meaning nearly eight in ten recalls involve conditions associated with loss of vehicle control, fire risk, structural failure, or comparable hazards. Medium-tier campaigns account for 16%, while Low and Informational recalls together represent just 5% of the total.

The VNL leads the lineup with 113 recalls, the largest concentration in the database for this make, followed by the VN at 60 recalls and the VHD at 54. These three heavy-duty commercial truck models together account for well over a quarter of all recorded campaigns. The VHD also figures in a recent Critical recall affecting 2026 model year vehicles, where a wheel separation defect could cause a loss of control and increase the risk of a crash. Because so much of this lineup consists of commercial trucks operating under demanding conditions, the concentration of Critical and High recalls reflects the kinds of consequences those vehicle categories carry when mechanical components fail.
