VOLVO · Passenger car - Volvo return line power steering
The product poses a risk of injuries because some material in the power steering hoses in the return line has not been vulcanized according to specification at the supplier. This may lead to sudden rupture of the hose and will result in a sudden drainage of all the servo oil in the system and a complete loss of servo assistance. This may appear suddenly and without warning to the driver.
