Volvo is recalling certain 2026-2027 VNL (4) trucks for center roof marker lights that may fail to illuminate, increasing crash risk. Owners will receive free replacement by dealers starting October 5, 2026.
Marker lights that fail to illuminate can reduce visibility, increasing the risk of a crash.
Volvo is recalling certain 2026-2027 VNL (4) trucks because their center roof marker lights might not light up, which could cause crashes. This is a safety issue that needs fixing to comply with federal vehicle standards.
The center roof marker lights may not work properly, meaning the truck could be less visible to other drivers at night. This fails to meet federal safety standards for vehicle lighting and could lead to crashes if the lights don't illuminate when needed.
Owners of 2026-2027 Volvo VNL (4) trucks are affected. Drivers using these vehicles without the fix are at risk of reduced visibility during nighttime driving.
