Which vehicles

How this campaign compares
At 174 vehicles this is a small campaign: 63% 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 2023 to 2025, so the oldest vehicles on it were 2 model years old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
Volvo vehicles have been recalled over the electrical system 31 times before this, most recently in March 2025 as 25V179000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 2 other recalls published here: 24V790000 (electrical system), 24V396000 (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 March 25, 2025 as campaign 25V055000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
