The 2027 Volvo VNL has 4 recalls, the most serious involving lug nuts that can loosen and allow a wheel to detach, creating a loss of vehicle control and a road hazard for other drivers.
On the braking side, two separate concerns affect this truck. Unprotected electrical connectors at the rear brake modulators can short circuit, knocking out the anti-lock brakes and electronic stability control and reducing the truck's ability to stop or stay stable in an emergency. Separately, vehicles not equipped with auxiliary parking brakes can experience insufficient holding force when the truck is loaded in weight bias mode, raising the risk of a rollaway. There is also a lighting concern: the turn signals on certain vehicles may not function properly, leaving other drivers without a clear indication when the truck is changing direction or turning.
