Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Volvo Trucks North America is recalling 125 of its 2020-2024 VNR Electric vehicles because the high-voltage battery pack may have a loose coolant line. If the line is not fully seated and locked, coolant can leak, potentially causing an electrical short circuit inside the battery. Volvo will work with the battery manufacturer, Akasol, to inspect and replace the batteries as necessary, free of charge.

Risk

A coolant leak within the high-voltage battery pack can cause an electrical short circuit, which significantly increases the risk of a vehicle fire.
