What's wrong?
The sleeper cabinet fasteners on Volvo 2022-2023 Vn trucks hold the interior cabinets tight to the cab walls. The required setup uses a flange bolt with a washer, so the load is spread across the mounting point instead of concentrated under the bolt head. That washer helps the cabinet stay seated as the truck vibrates and flexes in normal service.
On affected trucks, Volvo used substitute cabinet bolts after the original bolts were unavailable. During assembly, the required washer was left out with the substitute bolt. Without that washer, the cabinet mounting point has less clamping support, and the cabinet can loosen or pull away from the wall over time.
There is no warning sign before failure. The missing washer is inside the cabinet mounting hardware, so the issue is not something an owner or driver can confirm from the seat before the cabinet starts to move.
Who's affected?
The same body or structural component applies to the 2022 and 2023 Vn trucks, tied to the flange bolt and washer assembly.

What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2022-2023 Volvo Vn is included in this recall.
- Contact a franchised Volvo dealer to schedule the free washer installation for the cabinet bolts so the cabinets stay secured to the walls.
- Bring the recall notice if Volvo mailed one. If not, reference recall number 22V115 when you call.

What happens at the repair
At the dealer, a Volvo technician installs the required washers on the existing cabinet mounting bolts so the sleeper cabinets are secured to the walls as intended. The parts and labor are free under the recall. Volvo's general reimbursement plan covers eligible repairs paid before the owner notification letters were mailed. If you've already paid for a related cabinet fastener repair, ask the service desk or Volvo Trucks customer service how to submit repair documentation.
