The defect
Volvo IS recalling my 2008-2009 vehicles. a section of the power steering return line hose was not properly vulcanized (cured) and does not meet specifications. if the power steering return hose fails, a sudden rupture of the hose can occur.
The risk
This can result in a rapid drainage of the power steering fluid in the system and a complete loss of power assistance, increasing the risk of a crash.
The remedy
Dealers will inspect and replace the steering return line hose assembly free of charge. the recall began on august 13, 2008. owners may contact volvo at 1-800-458-1552.
