NHTSA recall 11V378000
Steering · Volvo Car USA, LLC
Details
What's wrong: The power steering reservoir return hose may have been incorrectly routed, which can result in increased pressure in the power steering system. The power steering return hose may burst at the steering gear due to the increased pressure, resulting in a loss of power steering fluid.
Why it matters: The driver may experience a sudden loss of power steering, increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix: Volvo dealers will inspect the routing of the power steering reservoir return hose and make repairs as necessary, free of charge. The safety recall is expected to begin during August 2011.
