What's wrong?
The power cables on 2025-2026 Volvo Vn trucks carry electrical current between the truck's battery system and major electrical components. The cable routing bracket is supposed to hold those cables in the correct path, with enough clearance around nearby 12V positive cables and the 48V negative ground stud. That spacing matters because high-current cables need to stay separated from parts that can complete a short circuit.
On recalled trucks, the routing and clipping clearances are insufficient. A power cable can sit too close to the ground stud or surrounding hardware, which can let electrical current short where it should not flow. Volvo found the issue after cable routing was linked to an electrical fire on a vehicle.
Owners can see electrical system faults before the cable problem becomes more serious. Treat those faults as the warning sign for this recall, especially on a 2025-2026 Volvo Vn that has not had the cable routing repair.

The year and model narrow the scope, but the VIN decides. Check your VIN to confirm whether your specific truck is included.
What's the safety risk?
An electrical short can stall the engine, increasing crash risk. The same short can overheat the power cables, increasing fire risk. Electrical system faults are a warning sign; if one appears, stop in a safe place and call a Volvo dealer before you continue. Repair is free at any franchised Volvo dealer.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2025-2026 Volvo Vn is included in this recall.
- Contact a franchised Volvo dealer to schedule the free power-cable rerouting that addresses electrical shorts, cable overheating, engine stalls, and fire risk.
- Bring the recall notice if Volvo mailed one, or reference recall number 25V332 and Volvo recall RVXX2505 when you call.
- Call Volvo customer service at 800-528-6586 with questions about scheduling or dealer instructions.
- Avoid driving the truck if you notice electrical problems, overheating, or a burning smell before the repair is complete.
What happens at the repair
At the dealer, a Volvo technician re-routes the power cables so they are positioned away from the short-circuit risk described in recall 25V332. The recall repair is free, and parts and labor are covered. Volvo used its general reimbursement plan for this recall. If you already paid out of pocket for a related power-cable repair before the owner notice, bring repair invoices and payment records to the service desk so Volvo can review the claim.
