Volvo Trucks North America is recalling 3,502 of its 2025 VN, VNRe, and VHD trucks because a critical steering component called a drag link may fail. The drag link contains an improperly heat-treated ball stud that can break, leading to a sudden and complete loss of steering control. Owners are advised to stop driving these vehicles immediately until the necessary repair has been performed by a dealer.
A failure of the ball stud in the steering system can cause the driver to lose the ability to steer the truck. Because this can happen suddenly while the vehicle is in motion, it significantly increases the risk of a crash.
You have 2 options:
Inspection and replacement of the drag link steering component.
Do Not Drive order
