The 2024 Volvo VAH has 4 recalls, the most serious involving steering gear fasteners that may not be properly tightened, which can cause loss of vehicle control and raise the risk of a crash.
The passenger seat belt anchor is also affected: inadequate floor reinforcement means the anchor can fail in a crash, leaving the front passenger without proper restraint. On the electronics side, certain trucks equipped with Bendix EC80 electronic control units can experience electrical interference that causes the unit to misprocess commands or stop functioning altogether, which can disable or reduce the effectiveness of anti-lock brakes, electronic stability control, automatic traction control, active cruise control, and the collision mitigation system all at once. Rounding out the list, the windshield wiper motor's internal gears can wear prematurely and cause the wipers to stop working, leaving the driver with reduced visibility in rain or snow.
