Volvo Trucks of North America has announced the recall of certain VNL
and VNM tractor trailer trucks concerning a faulty steering system
component.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration reported 23 known
crashes that resulted in two injuries as a result of the faulty
steering component which could potentially fail and cause a complete
loss of steering. The trucks with the potential for steering failure
are model year 2001-2006, and were manufactured with TRW sealed drag
links.
Volvo Trucks N. America initially blamed drivers for failing to
properly maintain their trucks, before determining that it was a
manufacturing defect. The total number of trucks affected by the
recall is 63,788.
