The 2008 Volvo VNM has 3 recalls, the most serious being a steering gear mounting issue where the bolts securing the steering gear to the frame can loosen and fall out, causing a complete loss of steering control.
The remaining recall involves the hood restraint cylinders, which lack sufficient dampening to hold the hood securely when opening or closing it. If a cylinder separates, the hood becomes unrestrained and can swing freely, posing a risk of injury to anyone working near the front of the truck.
