Volvo Trucks Australia has issued a recall for FLE and FEE models due to a software issue that could cause unintended vehicle movement.

Four units are part of the recall, which is for FLE and FEE models from 2020 to 2021.

The recall says a software issue means the vehicle may accelerate without the pedal being depressed, causing unintended vehicle movement.

Volvo Trucks says the vehicle can still be stopped immediately by engaging the hand or park brake, or by changing the gear to neutral when the vehicle is at low speed.

Volvo is asking owners of the affected vehicles to contact their preferred authorised Volvo dealership to schedule an appointment and have the software updated free of charge.
