2024–2027 Volvo VNL (4) trucks recalled for inadequate parking brake

Volvo Trucks is recalling certain 2024–2027 VNL (4) vehicles lacking auxiliary parking brakes, which can result in inadequate parking brake force and rollaway risk.

What this means for you

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 structural vehicle defect affecting a critical safety system (parking brake) with risk of rollaway and crash. Although no reported injuries or deaths are stated in the source, the hazard (inadequate parking brake force leading to rollaway) represents significant risk of harm to vehicle operators and others.

Plain-English summary

Volvo Trucks North America is recalling certain 2024–2027 VNL (4) vehicles that do not include auxiliary parking brakes. When the vehicle is in weight bias mode, there may not be enough weight on the parking brake axle, which could result in inadequate parking brake force.

Inadequate parking brake force can result in a rollaway, increasing the risk of a crash. The affected component is the parking brake system.
