Volvo Trucks North America is recalling 2,098 model year 2022-2024 Volvo VN vehicles. These trucks may experience unintended acceleration when the vehicle is in 'limp mode' and its internal communication network is interrupted, causing an incorrect signal to be sent to the accelerator pedal. Volvo dealers will provide a free software update for the electronic control unit (ECU) to fix this safety defect.
A vehicle that accelerates unexpectedly can be difficult to control, significantly increasing the likelihood of a collision or crash. This defect also means the trucks fail to comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard requirements for accelerator control systems.
