Volvo is recalling 2,098 of its 2022-2024 Volvo VN vehicles. The luxury vehicles company said in the NHTSA report that “when the Controller Area Network communications are interrupted and the vehicle is in limp mode, an incorrect accelerator pedal signal can result in unintended acceleration.” If a car suddenly accelerates unintentionally, it can increase the risk of a crash, the report said.
In addition, NHTSA said that the Volvo VN “fails to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 124, ‘Accelerator Control Systems.’”
To fix the issue, Volvo dealers will update the electronic control unit software for free. Recall notification letters are expected to be sent by Nov. 22. Owners may contact Volvo Customer Service at 1-800-528-6586. Volvo’s number for this recall is RVXX2408.
