The 2007 Volvo VHD has 3 recalls, the most serious being a steering shaft that can separate from the steering gear, causing sudden and complete loss of steering control.
On certain trucks, a mislocated pinch bolt hole in the steering shaft means the connection to the steering gear can come apart without warning, leaving the driver unable to steer. On the brake side, trucks equipped with an air release fifth wheel have an inversion valve that can be oriented in a way that lets debris and moisture enter through the exhaust port. Over time, that contamination corrodes the valve, causing it to malfunction and reducing braking performance. The third recall affects trucks fitted with snow plow lamp preparation kits: the snow plow headlights can be switched on independently of the marker lights and tail lamps, so the truck may appear dark from the sides and rear while the front lights are active, and the high beam indicator inside the cab will not illuminate when the snow plow high beams are on.
