The 2025 Volvo VNR has two recalls, the more serious being a steering gear shaft that can crack or fracture, causing complete loss of steering control and raising the risk of a crash.
The second recall also involves the steering gear, where a manufacturing defect can cause power steering fluid to leak and strip the truck of power steering assist. When that happens, steering effort increases sharply and suddenly, making the truck difficult to control. This recall covers both VNR and VNRe models.
