Volvo ball joint seals may be compromised, which can allow water and other contaminants to enter the ball joints.
The short version
Volvo Trucks North America reported a problem with the control arm lower ball joint. Here is what owners need to know.
The ball joint seals may be compromised, which can allow water and other contaminants to enter the ball joints.
If water and contaminants enter the ball joint, corrosion can occur and lead to accelerated wear, which over time can result in failure of the ball joint, possibly resulting in complete loss of steering, increasing the risk of a crash.
Volvo will notify owners, and dealers will replace the drag links, free of charge.
