Volvo VHD: Steering
Affects Volvo VHD · 2000–2001 — about 137 vehicles.
The hazard
On certain vehicles, the design of the lower steering column shaft universal joint boot could allow the boot to get entangled in the universal joint. This can cause increased steering effort, creating a potential for steering lock-up. Correction: Owners will be advised to remove the universal joint boot per instructions. If an owner chooses, a Volvo Truck dealer can perform the remedy for them.
