What's wrong?
The vehicle certification label on the 2024 Volvo Vhd and Vn is the weight label a driver or service shop uses before loading the truck. It lists the Gross Axle Weight Rating, or GAWR, which is the maximum weight the front axle is rated to carry with its installed tires. On these trucks, the label is tied to Continental front tires in size 295/75 or 385/65.
The problem is the label, not the tire itself. Volvo traced the issue to a unit conversion error that printed the wrong front axle rating value on the certification label. If the truck is loaded by that incorrect number, the front axle can be loaded beyond the rating intended for the tire and axle setup. The corrected remedy label uses the proper front axle rating data for the Continental tire fitment.
There is no warning sign before failure. The truck will not alert the driver that the certification label is wrong, so the risk comes from relying on the printed rating when loading the vehicle.

What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2024 Volvo Vhd or Vn is included in this recall.
- Contact a franchised Volvo dealer to schedule the free certification-label replacement that corrects the front-axle GAWR information.
- Bring the recall notice if Volvo has mailed one. If not, reference recall number 23V816 when you call.

What happens at the repair
At the dealer, a Volvo technician removes the incorrect vehicle certification label and installs a corrected label with the right front axle weight rating for the tire equipment on the truck. The recall repair is free, and parts and labor are covered. Because Volvo has the manufacturer's standard reimbursement plan on file, owners who paid out of pocket for a related label repair before the recall notice should bring repair paperwork and payment documentation to the service desk.
