Volvo Trucks North America is recalling 53 of its 2024 VN and VHD model trucks because the vehicle certification label displays an incorrect Gross Axle Weight Rating (GAWR). The issue specifically affects vehicles equipped with size 295/75 or 385/65 Continental tires on the front axle. Because the label is incorrect, operators may unknowingly overload the vehicle, which can lead to mechanical failure or handling issues. To fix this, Volvo dealers will remove and replace the labels with accurate weight information at no cost to owners.
The incorrect label can allow the truck to be loaded beyond its safe structural capacity. Overloading a vehicle can stress the tires, suspension, and braking systems, significantly increasing the risk of a crash.
