The 2025 Volvo VNRE has 3 recalls, the most serious being a high-voltage battery that may contain loose hardware capable of causing an internal short circuit and starting a fire.
The steering system also carries a serious risk: a ball stud in the drag link can fail without warning, causing sudden and complete loss of steering control. On the electronics side, a software and signal issue affecting the Bendix EC80 electronic control unit can cause it to misprocess commands or stop responding entirely, which can disable or reduce the effectiveness of several active safety systems including anti-lock brakes, automatic traction control, electronic stability control, adaptive cruise control, and the collision mitigation system.
