The problem
ON CERTAIN HEAVY DUTY CLASS 8 TRUCKS EQUIPPED WITH DANA STEERING SHAFTS, THERE IS A POTENTIAL THAT THE STEERING SHAFT PINCH BOLT HOLE MAY BE INCORRECTLY LOCATED. THE PINCH BOLT FITS INTO A GROOVE IN THE STEERING GEAR INPUT SHAFT TO ENSURE THAT THE STEERING SHAFT DOES NOT SEPARATE FROM THE STEERING GEAR IF THE PINCH BOLT COMES LOOSE.
Risk
THIS COULD POTENTIALLY LEAD TO STEERING SHAFT SEPARATION RESULTING IN LOSS OF CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE IF THE PINCH BOLT WERE TO COME LOOSE INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.
What owners should do
DEALERS WILL INSPECT THE STEERING SHAFT AND REPLACE IT AS REQUIRED FREE OF CHARGE. THE RECALL BEGAN ON AUGUST 28, 006. OWNERS MAY CONTACT VOLVO TRUCKS AT 1-800-528-6586.
