Volvo recall: Steering
What is wrong
Volvo is recalling certain model year 2007 s80 passenger cars manufactured from march 8, 2006, through may 16, 2007. The power steering reservoir return hose may have been incorrectly routed, which can result in increased pressure in the power steering system. The power steering return hose may burst at the steering gear due to the increased pressure, resulting in a loss of power steering fluid.
What could happen
The driver may experience a sudden loss of power steering, increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix
Volvo dealers will inspect the routing of the power steering reservoir return hose and make repairs as necessary, free of charge. The safety recall is expected to begin during august 2011. Owners may contact volvo at 1-201-768-7300.
