What's wrong?
The instrument cluster on the 2025 Volvo Vnl (4) truck is the dashboard display that shows warning lights for major systems. One of those lights is the ABS warning light. It tells the driver when the anti-lock brake system has detected a malfunction, so the driver knows the brake system needs service attention.
On this truck, the electronic braking system hardware was paired with a software package that did not match it. Volvo traced the problem to software validation before release. Because the software and hardware were not compatible, the cluster does not reliably turn on the ABS warning light when that warning is needed.
The owner can see a truck brake warning that indicates a malfunction, but that warning can be cleared by the driver. After it is cleared, the ABS warning light is not a dependable warning sign for this issue.
Who's affected?
The same conversion-kit software is tied to the electrical-system software and ABS warning-light components.

A matching year and model does not guarantee inclusion. Check your VIN to confirm whether your specific truck is included.
What's the safety risk?
If the ABS warning light fails to illuminate, the driver is not alerted when the ABS has a malfunction. That leaves the problem harder to recognize and can increase crash risk. If a brake warning returns after being cleared, treat it as a real service issue. Repair is free at any franchised Volvo dealer.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2025 Volvo Vnl (4) is included in this recall.
- Contact a franchised Volvo dealer to schedule the free instrument-cluster software reprogramming that restores the ABS warning-light alert.
- Bring the recall notice if Volvo has mailed it. If not, reference recall number 24V791 when you call.
- Avoid assuming the ABS warning light will alert you before the repair; ask the dealer whether the truck is safe to keep in service.
What happens at the repair
At the dealer, a Volvo technician reprograms the instrument cluster software so the ABS warning light operates as required. The software update and labor are free under the recall. If you already paid out of pocket for a related software repair before the recall notice, Volvo's standard reimbursement plan covers documented expenses. Bring repair paperwork and receipts to the service desk, or contact Volvo Customer Service to ask how to submit the claim.
