The 2015 Volvo VAH has 3 recalls, the most serious involving a steering drag link where corrosion inside a damaged boot can cause the ball joint to separate from its socket, resulting in sudden loss of steering control.
The damaged boot allows road grime, water, and other contaminants to reach the ball socket, accelerating wear until the joint can no longer hold. When that connection fails, the driver loses the ability to steer the truck. The remaining recalls both concern headlight output that falls below minimum intensity requirements, meaning the headlights do not cast enough light down the road at night or in low-visibility conditions to give the driver adequate warning of obstacles, pedestrians, or road features ahead.
