- The defect
- Volvo Trucks North America (Volvo Trucks) is recalling certain 2022-2025 Volvo VN and 2025 New VN trucks. The idler gear bracket fasteners may have been improperly tightened, allowing the idler gear to detach from the engine.
- What it can cause
- A detached idler gear can damage the engine, resulting in a stall and increasing the risk of a crash or injury.
- What the dealer does
- Dealers will inspect and replace the turbo compound units as necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed April 28, 2025. Owners may contact Volvo Trucks' customer service at 1-800-528-6586. Volvo Trucks' number for this recall is RVXX2504.
- NHTSA's note
- Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 888-327-4236 (TTY 888-275-9171) or go to 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 102 vehicles this is a small campaign: 69% 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 2025, 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 engine and engine cooling 21 times before this, most recently in October 2022 as 22V793000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 25 other recalls published here, the newest being: 26V260000 (service brakes, air), 26V208000 (exterior lighting), 26V186000 (service brakes, air), 26V184000 (electrical system).
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 April 17, 2025 as campaign 25V257000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
