The 2020 Volvo VN has two recalls, the more serious being a passenger-side bench seat that may not be properly secured to the floor and can shift or break free in a crash, raising the risk of injury.
The second recall involves the Bendix EC80 electronic control unit, which can misprocess commands or stop responding due to electrical interference. When this happens, several active safety systems can lose full function or go offline entirely, including anti-lock brakes, traction control, electronic stability control, adaptive cruise control, and the collision mitigation system.
