Certain 2024 Volvo VN and VHD trucks have an incorrect Gross Axle Weight Rating label, which can allow vehicles to be overloaded and increases crash risk. Dealers will replace the label free of charge.
What this means for you
Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 3/5 (High).
Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.
Our severity reasoning: This is a risk-of-harm situation where overloading increases the risk of crashes. No injuries or deaths have been reported, and the hazard remains theoretical, placing it in the High category per the severity rubric.
Plain-English summary
Volvo Trucks North America is recalling certain 2024 VN and VHD vehicles equipped with size 295/75 or 385/65 Continental tires on the front axle. The Gross Axle Weight Rating (GAWR) listed on the vehicle certification label is incorrect.
An incorrect GAWR can allow the vehicle to be overloaded, which increases the risk of a crash. The vehicles fail to comply with federal weight certification requirements (49 CFR Part 567).
Dealers will remove and replace the label free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed December 13, 2024. Owners may contact Volvo Trucks customer service at 1-800-528-6586 or the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153).
