2023 VOLVO VNR Recalls — Canada & USA

The 2023 Volvo VNR has 3 recalls, the most serious involving the high-voltage battery pack, where coolant lines or internal hardware can loosen and cause a short circuit that raises the risk of fire. These two battery issues stem from the same system: a coolant line that may not be fully locked into place can leak and trigger an electrical short, while separately, hardware inside the pack can work loose and make contact in a way that also causes a short. Both conditions point to the same fire risk. On the braking side, trucks equipped with adaptive cruise control can respond with unexpectedly hard braking under light load conditions, which can cause the rear axle to skid, the brakes to lock up, and the driver to lose control.
