STEERING
- The defect
- Volvo Trucks North America (Volvo Trucks) is recalling one 2020 VNL truck. The steering gear assembly may have been assembled incorrectly with fewer recirculating balls than are required, which may result in a loss of steering control.
- What it can cause
- A loss of steering control increases the risk of a crash.
- What the dealer does
- A dealer will inspect and replace the defective gears as necessary, free of charge. An owner notification letter was mailed February 7, 2024. The owner may contact Volvo Trucks customer service at 1-800-528-6586. Volvo Trucks number for this recall is RVXX2316.
- 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 1 vehicle this is a small campaign: 100% 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, 2020, so the oldest vehicles on it were 3 model years old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
Volvo vehicles have been recalled over the steering 31 times before this, most recently in December 2023 as 23V886000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 4 other recalls published here: 20V613000 (structure), 20V536000 (service brakes, air), 20V384000 (equipment), 20V241000 (steering).
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 December 26, 2023 as campaign 23V900000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
