What's wrong?
The wheel nuts on the 2026-2027 Volvo Vah, Vn, Vhd, Vnl (4), and Vnr (4) trucks clamp each wheel to the axle flange. That joint has to be metal against metal, with the nuts tightened enough to hold the wheel in place through braking, steering, and road vibration.
On affected trucks, masking material from the painting process was left between the wheel and hub mounting surfaces. That material sits inside the joint and compresses after the wheel is installed. As it compresses, the wheel nuts lose clamping force. Once that torque is lost, the lug nuts loosen and the wheel can detach.
There is no warning sign before failure. An owner or driver should not count on noise, vibration, or a dashboard alert before the wheel connection has already lost torque.

What happens at the repair
Do not drive the vehicle until the repair is complete. Once Volvo opens the dealer repair, a Volvo technician will inspect the wheel and hub mating surfaces, remove any masking material, and replace worn components if needed. Parts and labor are covered under the recall. Volvo is using its standard reimbursement plan for this campaign. If you've already paid out of pocket for a related wheel or hub repair, keep your paperwork and ask Volvo customer service or the dealer service desk how to submit documented expenses.
