STEERING:LINKAGES:TIE ROD ASSEMBLY
A sudden loss of steering control increases the risk of a crash.
8 safety recall campaigns, 2 carrying NHTSA's "park it" advisory.
2 campaigns covering the 2025 VOLVO VN carry NHTSA’s “park it” advisory — the federal government telling owners to stop driving the vehicle until the remedy has been performed. Whether it was performed on any particular car is not something NHTSA publishes in a form anyone can query; a franchised dealer can run the VIN and print the record in a minute, and the repair is free.
Complaints are reports from owners of this model year, not findings about any particular vehicle, and a model that sold in large numbers will collect more of them. They are counted here as filed; nothing is inferred from them.

An electrical short can cause an engine stall, increasing the risk of a crash. An electrical short can also cause the cables to overheat, increasing the risk of a fire.
A detached idler gear can damage the engine, resulting in a stall and increasing the risk of a crash or injury.
Safety systems that depend on the ECU (Automatic Traction Control, ABS, Electronic Stability Control, Active Cruise Control, and Collison Mitigation System) may have diminished or lost functionality, increasing the risk of a crash.
Improperly tightened lug nuts can allow the wheel to detach, increasing the risk of a crash.
Two 2025 VOLVO VNs can have entirely different histories, and a recall campaign usually covers a build-date window rather than a whole model year — which a VIN does not encode, so only the door-jamb label settles it. Scanning the VIN adds the decode, the crash tests, the fuel economy and the complaints matched to that exact engine, trim and assembly plant.
