6 recalls across 5 model years
The Volvo VNR (4) has 5 recalls covering 2025 through 2027 model years, with the most serious being a brake system defect on 2026-2027 models where unprotected electrical connectors on the rear brake modulators can short circuit, disabling both anti-lock brakes and electronic stability control and raising the risk of a crash.
On the 2025 model year, a separate brake issue can cause delayed activation, meaning the vehicle takes longer to begin stopping than expected and requires more distance to come to a full stop. There is also a body control module defect on 2025 models where trailer tail lights and turn signals fail to illuminate when towing, making the trailer less visible to drivers behind.
The 2026 model year carries two lighting recalls. The automatic high beam system can fail to switch down to low beams when oncoming traffic is present, leaving other drivers with reduced visibility. Turn signals on 2026-2027 models can also fail to operate correctly, removing the driver's ability to signal lane changes or turns to surrounding traffic.
