CanadaCertain 2026 Volvo medium and heavy‑duty trucks — models VN, VHD, VAH, VNE and VNL — are affected; they can be recognized by those model names and model year. Fasteners that secure the steering arms to the steering knuckles may not have been tightened properly, which could allow the steering arms to loosen and cause a loss of steering control and increased crash risk. Volvo Trucks will notify owners by mail and advise taking the truck to a dealership to inspect and, if necessary, tighten the fasteners and replace any damaged components.
