2 recalls across 2 model years
The Volvo WXR has 2 recalls covering the 1995 and 2001 model years, with the most serious being a 2001 suspension defect where the upper axle seat on the forward or rear drive axle can break, allowing the axle to shift out of alignment and create a loss of axle stability.
The 1995 model year has a separate suspension concern involving the tilt cab. When raised to its full upright position for maintenance, the cab can force the steering shaft into contact with the steering gear. If the contact is hard enough, the steering gear input shaft can crack, and a cracked shaft can lead to complete loss of steering control while driving.
