2007 Volvo VNL & 2007 Volvo VNM + 1 more recall: powertrain & transmission
⚠️ What's wrong
On certain trucks equipped with arvinmeritor RPL20 high angle interaxle driveshafts, an improper seated or missing snap ring CAN result in the bearing cup to separate from the slip yoke sub-assembly. The universal joint cross could then contact the slip yoke casting and eventually cause the ear work to fracture.
💥 The risk
This could result in additional damage to the driveline, the vehicle to which it is attached and ay additional nearby objects.
🔧 The fix
Dealers will inspect the driveshafts and replace them as needed. The recall began on october 23, 2006. Owners may contact volvo trucks at 1-800-528-6586.
Is the fix free? Yes. Safety recall repairs are free at any authorized dealer under federal law, including parts and labor. (Vehicles more than 15 years old when the recall was announced can be excluded, but most manufacturers still fix them.)
