VOLVO CARS OF N.A. LLC. recall for steering, reported to NHTSA on Jul 23, 2008, covering about 1,020 vehicles.
The problem
Volvo is recalling my 2008-2009 vehicles. A section of the power steering return line hose was not properly vulcanized (Cured) and does not meet specifications. If the power steering return hose fails, a sudden rupture of the hose can occur.
The risk
This can result in a rapid drainage of the power steering fluid in the system and a complete loss of power assistance, increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix
Dealers will inspect and replace the steering return line hose assembly free of charge. The recall began on august 13, 2008. Owners may contact volvo at 1-800-458-1552.
