2026 VOLVO VNL (4) Recalls — Canada & USA

The 2026 Volvo VNL has 10 recalls, the most serious involving the dynamic steering system, which can malfunction and cause a complete loss of steering control. On the braking side, two issues affect stopping and parking: when the truck is in weight bias mode, there may not be enough weight on the parking brake axle to hold the vehicle, creating a rollaway risk, and the service brakes can take longer than expected to release, reducing the driver's ability to control the truck's speed. There is also a door latch concern where an incorrectly installed interior handle cable can prevent the cab door from opening from inside, potentially trapping occupants. The instrument panel can fail while driving, blanking out the speedometer and warning lights. Load lock clamps on the back of the cab can loosen and allow load lock bars to fall free, scattering debris on the road. Three lighting issues round out the list: automatic high beams may stay on and blind oncoming traffic instead of switching to low beam, turn signals may fail to operate, and roof center marker lights may not illuminate, reducing the truck's visibility to other drivers. The hazard switch backlighting can also go dark, making it hard to locate in an emergency.
