2025 VOLVO VN Recalls — Canada & USA

The 2025 Volvo VN has 8 recalls, with the most serious being multiple steering failures that can cause sudden, complete loss of steering control, raising the risk of a crash. Three separate steering concerns affect this truck. The tie rod and drag link assemblies each contain a ball stud that can fail and cause the steering to give out without warning. The steering gear can also lose power assist abruptly due to a poorly seated plug in the valve housing. A fourth steering issue involves the oversteer guidance feature, which can cause the steering wheel to turn on its own during an oversteer event rather than helping correct it. On the electrical side, power cables routed incorrectly can cause a short that may stall the engine or overheat the wiring to the point of fire. There is also an engine concern where loose turbo idler gear bracket fasteners can cause the turbocharger to fail, stalling the engine and cutting drive power to the wheels. Two lower-severity recalls affect trailer lighting: a faulty trailer body control module can disable trailer lights entirely, and on certain trucks the anti-lock brake warning light for the trailer may not illuminate when the system has a fault, leaving the driver unaware of a braking issue.
