2011 VOLVO VN Recalls — Canada & USA

The 2011 Volvo VN has 2 recalls, the most serious involving front lower ball joints that can corrode, separate, and cause a complete loss of steering. Moisture gets past the ball joint seals, accelerating wear until the joint fails and the socket separates from the suspension, leaving the driver with no steering control. On the safety equipment side, trucks equipped with bench passenger seats have a recall covering the seatbelt anchor d-ring, where the weld holding it in place may not be strong enough to keep the belt attached in a crash, allowing it to pull free and fail to restrain the passenger.
