2022–2024 Volvo VN: Electrical System recall
NHTSA campaign 24V741000 · 2,098 units potentially affected · filed Oct 3, 2024
What's wrong
Volvo Trucks North America (Volvo) is recalling certain 2022-2024 Volvo VN vehicles. When the Controller Area Network (CAN) communications are interrupted and the vehicle is in limp mode, an incorrect accelerator pedal signal can result in unintended acceleration. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 124, "Accelerator Control Systems."
Why it matters
Sudden unintended acceleration can increase the risk of a crash.
