Volvo Bus Corporation is recalling 10 of its 2024 Volvo 9700 vehicles because critical nuts in the steering system may not have been tightened correctly. This manufacturing error involves the castellated nuts that secure the steering gear link rod to the steering and pitman arms, which can loosen over time. Prevost will perform the necessary tightening service for all affected vehicles free of charge. Owners were originally notified by mail starting in July 2024.
If the steering gear link rod becomes loose, the driver may lose control of the vehicle's steering. A loss of steering control significantly increases the risk of a crash for the driver, passengers, and others on the road.
