What's wrong?
The main cab harness on the 2022-2024 Volvo Vnl and Vhd trucks is the wiring bundle that carries electrical signals through the cab. In trucks with RollTek driver seats, that harness is supposed to carry the signal that lets the seat-mounted side air bag deploy during a crash.
On affected trucks, the harness was built without the circuit needed for that side air bag signal. Volvo traced the problem to an engineering review that missed the harness change. Without that wiring path, the RollTek seat air bag does not receive the deployment signal in a crash. The replacement harness includes the necessary wires so the air bag system can work as designed.
There is no warning sign before failure. The truck will not alert the driver that the side air bag circuit is missing, so the problem is found by VIN eligibility and dealer inspection, not by a dashboard light or change in how the truck drives.

Vnl and Vhd trucks are both listed with side curtain air bag and wiring components across the 2022, 2023, and 2024 model years.

What's the safety risk?

What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2022-2024 Volvo Vnl or Vhd is included in this recall.
- Contact a franchised Volvo dealer to schedule the free jumper-harness repair that restores the missing RollTek seat air-bag circuit.

What happens at the repair
At the dealer, a Volvo technician connects a jumper harness between the RollTek driver seat and the main cab harness. That added wiring gives the driver-seat side air bag the circuit it needs for deployment during a crash. The recall repair is free, with parts and labor covered. If you have already paid for this seat wiring repair, Volvo's standard reimbursement plan covers documented out-of-pocket expenses tied to the recall. Bring repair paperwork and proof of payment to the service desk so the claim can be reviewed.
