UD Trucks Australia is taking steps to issue a voluntary safety recall for 186 UD Trucks in Australia and New Zealand.
The announcement came from Volvo Group Australia. It affects six trucks in New Zealand which require replacement shock absorbers.
These customers will be contacted directly and NZ Transport Agency has been notified.
Volvo Group Australia Kate McFerran says the recall is a “precautionary measure”.
The voluntary safety recall applies to UD pPNLT Quon RSS-AIR trucks produced between 1 November 2016 and 31 January 2018.
“In certain operating conditions, the front-rear and rear-rear shock absorbers may bend or break.
“In certain conditions, this could cause interference with the tyre and cause it to burst, which may cause a risk of fire.
“Safety is at the core of our business, which is why we are taking this action. We are contacting owners to request they visit a Volvo Group Australia dealership and arrange a time for their vehicle to be inspected at their earliest convenience,” McFerran says.
