NHTSA recall 06V155000
Steering · Volvo Car USA, LLC
Details
What's wrong: On certain passenger vehicles,the outer tie rod ball joint can deform at high loads causing a loss of the clamping force and the nut may loosen, which may eventually lead to a fatigue fracture of the outer tie rod ball joint.
Why it matters: The driver may notice that the vehicle is difficult to maneuver increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix: Dealers will replace the outer ball joint tie rods with improved outer ball joint tie rods free of charge. The recall began on June 23, 2006.
