Suspension › Multiple axle
Reported Jun 24, 20211 vehicles affectedVolvo Trucks North America
The defect
Volvo Trucks North America (Volvo Trucks) is recalling one Watson and Chalin steerable lift axle suspension system with part number SL2065.27. The lower rear pivot cap screws may not be long enough to sufficiently engage the locking feature of the corresponding nuts.
The risk
The short screws can cause the hardware to separate from the suspension system and become a road hazard, increasing the risk of a crash or injury.
The remedy
Volvo Trucks will install a replacement lower rear pivot fastener hardware kit, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed on July 30, 2021. Owners may contact Volvo Trucks customer service at 1-800-528-6586.
