The 2017 Volvo VNM has 4 recalls, the most serious being a missing roll pin on the steering shaft that can cause the lower shaft to disconnect entirely, leaving the driver with no steering control.
The engine control module on certain trucks can develop an internal short circuit that blows a fuse in its power supply, causing the engine to stall without warning and preventing the vehicle from restarting. On the suspension side, front wheel hubs on certain trucks were built without enough load capacity to support the front axle's rated weight, which can cause the hub assembly, bearings, and related components to fail prematurely and separate from the axle while driving. Rounding out the list, a software error in the electronic air dryer controller can allow oil and water to contaminate the air brake system, reducing braking performance and increasing stopping distances.
