AIR BAGS:SIDE/WINDOW:CURTAIN
- The defect
- Volvo Trucks North America (Volvo Truck) is recalling certain 2022-2024 VNL and VHD vehicles equipped with RollTek driver seats. A missing circuit will prevent the side air bag from deploying during a crash.
- What it can cause
- An air bag that does not deploy, increases the risk of an injury.
- What the dealer does
- Dealers will connect a jumper harness between the seat and main cab harness, free of charge. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed August 4, 2023. Owners may contact Volvo Trucks' customer service at 1-800-528-6586. Volvo Trucks' number for this recall is RVXX2305.
- NHTSA's note
- Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.nhtsa.gov.
The repair is free, whatever the age or mileage of the vehicle, and whether or not you are the original owner.
Which vehicles
A recall reaches a range of VINs inside these model years, not every car built in them. Yours may not be covered even if it is listed here, and the only way to find out is NHTSA's own VIN lookup .
| Vehicle | Model years | Safety record |

How this campaign compares
At 29 vehicles this is a small campaign: 83% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published are as large or larger. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers model years 2022 to 2024, so the oldest vehicles on it were one model year old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
Volvo vehicles have been recalled over the air bags 14 times before this, most recently in October 2021 as 21V800000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 15 other recalls published here, the newest being: 24V790000 (electrical system), 24V121000 (steering), 23V886000 (steering), 23V816000 (equipment).
Check your own car
A VIN check is the only answer for a specific vehicle, and it also shows every other open recall on it, which is usually the reason it is worth doing rather than reading one campaign.
Filed by Volvo Trucks North America with NHTSA on June 4, 2023 as campaign 23V403000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
