Volvo Trucks North America: 2019-2023 VNR Electric Trucks Recalled for Fire Risk Due to Loose Power Cables

Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Volvo Trucks North America is recalling 243 of its 2019-2023 VNR Electric vehicles because the power cables connecting to the windscreen heater relay may be loose. This loose connection can cause the relay to fail and remain stuck in the 'on' position, continuously powering the cabin heater and causing the relay to overheat. Dealers will tighten these power cable connections free of charge to prevent a potential fire.

Risk

A loose cable connection can lead to relay failure, keeping the cabin heater powered indefinitely. This creates excessive heat within the relay components, significantly increasing the risk of a vehicle fire.

  1. Identify if you own a 2019-2023 Volvo VNR Electric truck affected by this recall (Recall Number RVXX2306).
  2. Contact an authorized Volvo Trucks dealer to schedule a service appointment for a free inspection and tightening of the power cable to relay connections.
  3. If you have further questions or need assistance locating a dealer, contact Volvo Trucks' customer service at 1-800-528-6586 and reference recall number RVXX2306.
