The 2009 Volvo VT has 2 recalls, the most serious being a front lower ball joint that can separate and cause a complete loss of steering control. The second recall involves the side window glass: the bottom track that holds the window to its opening mechanism can come loose, and if the upper hinges also fail, the glass can fall out of the frame entirely and become a hazard on the road.
