Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Volvo Trucks North America is recalling approximately 4,887 vehicles, specifically 2024-2026 Volvo VNL and 2026 Volvo VNR trucks. The automatic high beam feature in these vehicles may fail to switch to low beams when approaching oncoming traffic as required by federal safety standards. As an interim solution, Volvo is providing a free over-the-air software update to disable the automatic high beam feature while a final repair is being developed. Owners will be notified again once the permanent fix is ready, which is expected by June 2026.

Risk

High beam headlights that fail to dim for oncoming traffic can glare into other drivers' eyes and significantly reduce their visibility. This increases the risk of a crash for both the truck driver and other motorists on the road.
