The issue

On certain vehicles, the design of the lower steering column shaft universal joint boot could allow the boot to get entangled in the universal joint. This can cause increased steering effort, creating a potential for steering lock-up. Correction: Owners will be advised to remove the universal joint boot per instructions. If an owner chooses, a Volvo Truck dealer can perform the remedy for them.

Description (français)

Sur certains véhicules, le profil de la gaine de protection du joint de cardan de la colonne de direction inférieure fait en sorte qu'il peut nuire à la rotation du joint de cardan, ce qui peut entraîner une augmentation de l'effort nécessaire pour manœuvrer le volant et faire augmenter les risques de blocage de la direction. Correction : On devra aviser les propriétaires de déposer la gaine protectrice du joint de cardan selon la méthode prescrite. Les propriétaires peuvent aussi choisir de faire faire le travail par un concessionnaire Volvo.
