VOLVO CARS OF N.A. LLC. recall for steering, reported to NHTSA on Jan 16, 2004, covering about 29,986 vehicles.
The problem
On certain passenger vehicles, the front control arms may not have been manufactured correctly and, as a result, the stud and nut that secure the arm to the spindle may lose their initial axial tension. Under certain driving conditions, the steering may become less responsive and the driver may experience steering wheel play.
The risk
This driving condition could eventually lead to separation between the front control arm and the spindle, which could result in a crash.
The fix
Dealers will install a new type of nut. Owner notification began on february 16, 2004. Owners should contact volvo cars at 1-800-458-1552.
