Volvo Trucks North America is recalling 23 replacement tie rod assemblies equipped with USK ball studs. These tie rods, which were sold as replacement parts, may have ball studs that were incorrectly heat-treated during manufacturing, causing them to be brittle. This defect can lead to the tie rods breaking suddenly during use, and dealers will inspect and replace the affected components free of charge.
If a tie rod fails while the vehicle is in motion, the driver can lose steering control completely. This failure significantly increases the likelihood of a crash or serious accident.
Free inspection and replacement of tie rods.
