2021 VOLVO VNL Recalls — Canada & USA

The 2021 Volvo VNL has 4 recalls, the most serious involving loose steering gear fasteners that can cause loss of vehicle control, and a brake pedal plate that can crack and dislodge, leaving the driver with no working brake pedal. On the steering side, there is also a power steering pump where internal pressure can build and break the shaft seal, causing the power steering assist to cut out and making the wheel significantly harder to turn. A label recall covers the rear axle weight rating printed on the federal certification label, which overstates the capacity of the wheel hubs. If the rear axles are consistently loaded to the labeled limit, the wheel hubs can wear out prematurely and fail.
