Two American vehicle companies recall over 600 electric trucks due to safety issues
04/21/2023 / By Arsenio Toledo


American vehicle companies Volvo Trucks North America and Nikola Corporation are recalling several hundred of their electric trucks due to safety issues.

Volvo agreed to recall certain Volvo VNR Electric trucks manufactured between 2020 to 2023 due to issues with their adaptive cruise control systems, causing over-aggressive braking that makes the risk of an out-of-control situation far too high.

“During an adaptive cruise control braking event under light load conditions, regenerative braking could be aggressive with the potential of locking brakes and alternating anti-skid braking events, skidding the rear axle,” the Department of Transportation‘s National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) said about Volvo’s recalled vehicles.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address
