What's wrong?
The main software in the electronic control unit is part of the truck's throttle control system. On 2022-2024 Volvo Vn trucks, that software reads the accelerator pedal signal and helps the engine respond to the driver's foot. It also communicates with other control modules over the Controller Area Network, or CAN, which is the truck's internal data network.
The problem appears when CAN communication is interrupted and the truck is already in limp mode, a reduced-power backup state used after an electronic fault. In that backup state, the software can read or process the accelerator pedal signal incorrectly. Instead of matching engine response to the driver's pedal input, the truck can accelerate without the driver asking for that acceleration.
There is no warning sign before failure. Volvo reported that the issue was identified during testing, not from warranty claims, field reports, crashes, or injuries.
Who's affected?
The scope centers on main software in the electronic control unit, with both throttle position sensor and electrical system software components named.

What's the safety risk?
Sudden unintended acceleration can make the vehicle harder to control and increase the risk of a crash. There is no warning sign before failure, so take any unexpected surge seriously, ease off safely, and schedule the ECU software update with a dealer. Repair is free at any franchised Volvo dealer.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2022-2024 Volvo Vn is included in this recall.
- Contact your nearest franchised Volvo dealer to schedule the free ECU software update that corrects the unintended-acceleration signal issue.
- Bring the recall notice if you have it, and reference recall number 24V741 when you call.
- Drive with extra following distance until the update is complete, and park the truck if acceleration does not respond normally.
What happens at the repair
At the dealer, a Volvo technician updates the electronic control unit software that controls accelerator signal handling. The software update and labor are free under the recall. If you already paid out of pocket for a related ECU software repair before the recall notice, Volvo's standard reimbursement plan covers documented expenses. Bring repair paperwork and proof of payment to the service desk, or contact Volvo Customer Service to start the reimbursement review.
