Volvo VN Recall 23V816: Incorrect weight label can lead to overloading and crash risk

NHTSA campaign 23V816, reported December 5, 2023, 53 vehicles potentially affected.

What this recall means for you

Certain 2024 Volvo VN and VHD trucks equipped with size 295/75 or 385/65 Continental tires on the front axle have an incorrect Gross Axle Weight Rating (GAWR) listed on the vehicle certification label. Because the listed rating is wrong, the vehicle can be overloaded, and these vehicles do not comply with federal certification requirements.

An overloaded vehicle can increase the risk of a crash. Owners should not rely on the incorrect label to judge how much weight the truck can safely carry.

The remedy is free: dealers will remove and replace the certification label at no cost to you. Owner notification letters were mailed December 13, 2024. You can contact Volvo Trucks customer service at 1-800-528-6586 for more information, and you should check your VIN for open recalls.
