Volvo VNL and VNR trucks recalled for malfunctioning turn signal software

Volvo Trucks is recalling certain 2025-2027 VNL (4) and 2026-2027 VNR (4) trucks because the turn signal indicator software may malfunction. Defective turn signals may fail to warn other drivers of the vehicle's intended direction, increasing the risk of a crash.

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: The turn signal system is safety-critical; non-functioning signals create a real risk of crashes. However, no injuries, deaths, or property damage have been reported, and no agency classification is provided. This meets the rubric criterion for High: a risk-of-harm product where injury has not yet been reported.

Plain-English summary

Volvo Trucks North America is recalling certain 2025-2027 Volvo VNL (4) and 2026-2027 Volvo VNR (4) commercial trucks. The vehicles have a defect in the turn signal indicator software that may prevent the turn signals from functioning properly. These vehicles fail to comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 108 (Lamps, Reflective Devices, and Associated Equipment).

The safety consequence is that improperly functioning turn signals may fail to indicate the driver's intention to change vehicle direction to other road users, increasing the risk of a crash. According to NHTSA, 340 vehicles are potentially affected. Vehicle Identification Numbers (VINs) involved in the recall can be searched on NHTSA.gov beginning April 8, 2026.

Volvo Trucks will remedy the defect by updating the turn signal indicator software at no cost to vehicle owners. Notification letters were mailed on May 7, 2026. Owners can contact Volvo Trucks customer service at 800-528-6586 for more information. Volvo Trucks' internal recall number is RVXX2604.
