Steering: gear box: shaft sector

What is wrong: On certain heavy duty class 8 trucks equipped with dana steering shafts, there is a potential that the steering shaft pinch bolt hole may be incorrectly located. The pinch bolt fits into a groove in the steering gear input shaft to ensure that the steering shaft does not separate from the steering gear if the pinch bolt comes loose.
Risk: This could potentially lead to steering shaft separation resulting in loss of control of the vehicle if the pinch bolt were to come loose increasing the risk of a crash.
Remedy: Dealers will inspect the steering shaft and replace it as required free of charge. The recall began on august 28, 006. Owners may contact volvo trucks at 1‑800‑528‑6586.
