VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
- The defect
- Volvo Trucks North America (Volvo Trucks) is recalling certain 2023-2024 VN vehicles. The engine may not return to idle within 2 seconds if the accelerator pedal position sensor becomes disconnected. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 124, "Accelerator Control Systems."
- What it can cause
- An engine that does not return to idle quickly enough can cause a loss of vehicle control, increasing the risk of a crash.
- What the dealer does
- Volvo Trucks will replace the throttle pedal and update the vehicle software, free of charge. Owner letters were mailed February 27, 2024. Owners may contact Volvo Trucks customer service at 1-800-528-6586. Volvo Trucks number for this recall is RVXX2313.
- 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 858 vehicles this is a bigger campaign than 57% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers model years 2023 to 2024, 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 vehicles have been recalled over the vehicle speed control 4 times before this, most recently in April 2022 as 22V288000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 9 other recalls published here, the newest being: 25V257000 (engine and engine cooling), 24V790000 (electrical system), 24V741000 (vehicle speed control), 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.
