The defect
Volvo Trucks North America (Volvo Trucks) is recalling certain 2019-2023 VNR Electric vehicles. The power cables that connect to the windscreen heater relay may have a loose connection and cause the relay to fail.
The risk
A relay that fails in the closed position will continue to power the cabin heater, overheating the relay and increasing the risk of a fire.
