Medium riskHealth Canada

An official Health Canada notice concerns Volvo trucks. On certain vehicles, a defect in the ball joint seals on the drag link could allow corrosion to form in the joint, leading to accelerated wear. This could result in ball joint failure, potentially resulting in a loss of steering control which could increase the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will replace the drag link on affected vehicles. Note: This is an expansion of recall 2015-466. Published 2016-06-16.
