2023 VOLVO VNRE () Recalls — Canada & USA

The 2023 Volvo VNRE has 5 recalls, all centered on fire risk stemming from multiple electrical faults across the high-voltage battery system and cabin heating circuits. Three of the recalls involve the high-voltage battery pack. A coolant line inside the battery may not be fully seated, allowing coolant to leak and cause an electrical short. Separately, threaded fasteners inside the battery may be overtightened and break, also leading to a short circuit. Loose hardware inside the battery cells presents the same risk. All three of these battery faults raise the risk of fire. On the heating side, two recalls address the cabin heater circuits: the windscreen heater relay can develop a loose power cable connection, causing the relay to stick in the closed position and continuously power the heater until it overheats, and a separate cabin heater relay can fail on its own and allow the coolant heater to overheat. Both heating faults also raise the risk of fire.
