Summary

The power steering return hose may burst at the steering gear due to the increased pressure, resulting in a loss of power steering fluid.
Actions
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.
