The 2016 Volvo VAH has 2 recalls, the most serious involving a steering drag link where a damaged protective boot lets corrosion wear the ball joint until it separates, causing a sudden and complete loss of steering control.
The second recall concerns headlights that may not meet minimum brightness requirements, leaving the road ahead poorly lit at night or in low-visibility conditions and raising the risk of a crash.
