ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
- The defect
- Volvo Bus Corporation (Volvo Bus) is recalling certain 2023 Volvo 9700 vehicles. The fasteners that secure the power cable connections may not have been tightened securely.
- What it can cause
- Unsecured power cables can overheat, increasing the risk of a fire.
- What the dealer does
- Prevost will inspect and tighten the power cable fasteners, as necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed November 21, 2023. Owners may contact Volvo Bus customer service at 1-866-870-2046. Volvo Bus' number for this recall is SR23-86.
- 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 .

How this campaign compares
At 19 vehicles this is a small campaign: 87% 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 one model year, 2023, and the defect was reported to NHTSA in 2023, at or before the oldest model year it covers — as current as a recall gets.
Volvo Bus vehicles have been recalled over the electrical system 5 times before this, most recently in December 2017 as 17V845000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 3 other recalls published here: 25V469000 (equipment), 23V667000 (equipment), 22V841000 (exterior lighting).
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 Bus Corporation with NHTSA on October 3, 2023 as campaign 23V668000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
