Summary

Volvo Trucks North America "Volvo Trucks" is recalling certain 2020-2023 VNR Electric vehicles equipped with Adaptive Cruise Control "ACC". When the adaptive cruise control braking activates under light load conditions, it can trigger an aggressive braking response.

Consequence

Overly aggressive braking can result in the rear axle skidding, the brakes locking up, and/or a loss of vehicle control, increasing the risk of a crash.

Remedy

Dealers will secure wiring and remove radar antennas and brackets from the vehicle. The anti-lock braking system will be reprogrammed to disable adaptive cruise control. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed June 2, 2023. Owners may contact Volvo Trucks' customer service at 1-800-528-6586. Volvo Trucks' number for this recall is RVXX2303.
