Volvo recalls certain commercial vehicles due to axle screw issues and acceleration risk

Volvo Group UK Limited has announced a recall for specific models of Volvo commercial vehicles due to various safety concerns. One of the issues involves the front axle attachment screws on certain FHE, FME, and FMLE models, which may lose torque or come loose. If not addressed, this could lead to steering problems and potentially the front axle detaching. This recall affects 98 vehicles produced in the Republic of Ireland between 11 August 2025 and 01 December 2025.

Another safety issue has been identified in heavy-duty battery-electric trucks with gearbox-mounted power take-off, where there is a risk of unexpected acceleration. While the brakes will still function normally, this could pose a danger to drivers and others on the road. This recall impacts 54 vehicles manufactured between 12 September 2022 and 07 September 2025.

Additionally, certain FLE and FEE model trucks are being recalled due to a risk of unintentional deceleration and stopping if the drive/reverse switch has been heavily used. Drivers may notice yellow warnings before this issue occurs, indicating the need for service. This recall affects 9 vehicles produced between 07 September 2020 and 03 March 2025.

Customers who believe their vehicles may be affected are encouraged to contact their nearest Volvo Truck dealer for further assistance. Volvo Group UK Limited will also reach out directly to affected customers to arrange appointments for necessary repairs.
