The 2022 Volvo VHD has 5 recalls, the most serious involving an ECU that can lose the ability to process commands correctly, potentially disabling anti-lock brakes, traction control, electronic stability control, and the collision mitigation system all at once.
On the occupant safety side, two recalls affect the cab's protective systems. Trucks equipped with RollTek driver seats have a missing circuit that prevents the side curtain airbag from deploying in a crash, leaving the driver without that protection. Separately, the passenger-side bench seat may not be adequately fastened to the floor, allowing it to shift forward or sideways in a crash and increasing the risk of injury to anyone seated there.
Two additional recalls address hazards outside the cab. The hubcap compression spring on certain wheels can push the hubcap loose while driving, sending it onto the road where it becomes a hazard for other vehicles. The windshield wiper motor uses gears that can wear out faster than expected, causing the wipers to stop working entirely and leaving the driver with no way to clear the windshield in rain or snow.
