Volvo Recall R133: Volvo/Front Control Arms

2004 Volvo V70

This driving condition could eventually lead to separation between the front control arm and the spindle, which could result in a crash.

Steering — Linkages

Summary
On certain passenger vehicles, the front control arms may not have been manufactured correctly and, as a result, the stud and nut that secure the arm to the spindle may lose their initial axial tension. Under certain driving conditions, the steering may become less responsive and the driver may experience steering wheel play.
Actions
Dealers will install a new type of nut. Owner notification began on February 16, 2004. Owners should contact Volvo cars at 1-800-458-1552.
