Showing 26–50 of 1,008 recalls.
Wheel Rims check
On affected vehicles the front Wheel Rims potentially have the wrong maximum Load weight stamped which will make the vehicle be non-compliant to regulations.
Check and if necessary replace the front wheel rims.
C0472 - HPCU SW update. FHE/FME/FMLE (4)
On affected vehicles there is a risk for an unexpected acceleration in Heavy-Duty battery-electric trucks that use gearbox mounted power take-off and use it in non-stationary applications.
Install updated software to the Hybrid Powertrain Control Unit (HPCU).

C0455 Traction Battery Inspect/Replace
ESS Traction battery. There is a risk that a small metal piece from a broken terminal fixation might come loose and create a short circuit between battery cells inside the traction battery which might lead to overheating and a risk of fire. There will be a red warning in the instrument cluster to the driver if a short-circuit is detected inside the battery before the battery overheats.
Replacement of ESS Traction battery.
BCM2 SW – Safety Notice
Affected vehicles may experience a temporary loss of braking functionality after coasting downhill with ‘B’ mode selected or when using One Pedal Drive. This could potentially lead to a collision.
Install modified software via an Over the Air (OTA) update.

Exhaust Aftertreatment System (EATS) Rework
On affected vehicles there is a risk that the Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) may overheat when performing a regeneration if there is excessive soot accumulated inside it. In a worst-case scenario this could result in a vehicle fire.
Install modified software and pressure sensor.
SPA1 Cell Modules
On affected vehicles the High Voltage (HV) Battery may have a manufacturing defect which could cause the battery cells to overheat when the HV Battery is fully charged. In a worst-case scenario there is a risk of fire when the vehicle is parked up with a fully charged HV Battery.
Check and replace the HV Battery if necessary and install modified software.
