Volvo Trucks Fl6: Possibility That The Axle May Become Loose If The U Bolt Break
Recall Summary Volvo Trucks is recalling 1,376 FL6 model trucks sold in the United Kingdom because the U bolts that secure the front and rear axles may break or loosen, potentially causing the axles to become unstable. This issue is caused by incorrect torque on the front axle U bolts and overly hard material used in the rear axle U bolts. The fix involves replacing both sets of U bolts and tightening them to the correct specification.
