Watson & Chalin recall: Suspension
What is wrong
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.
What could happen
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 fix
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.
