The problem
Certain trucks equipped with front steer axle air suspension May develop a front wheel wobble when the tires become worn.
The risk
If the wobble persists and is left untreated, damage May occur which could impair vehicle control and a crash could occur without prior notice.
The fix
Dealers will repair and replace the front vertical shocks on each side of the front suspension and add a horizontal stabilizer. The recall began on February 20, 2006. Owners May contact Volvo trucks at 1-800-528-6586.
