The 1997 Volvo WG has 2 recalls, the most serious being a steering arm on trucks with the FAL 8.0 front steer axle that can fail without warning, causing a complete loss of steering control and raising the risk of a crash.
The second recall is a compliance issue: warning labels showing the correct sequence for climbing into or out of the cab were omitted, meaning a driver or passenger who does not follow the proper steps may slip and fall during entry or exit.
