STEERING
- The defect
- Volvo Car USA, LLC (Volvo Car) is recalling certain 2019-2022 V60CC, XC60, and XC90 vehicles. During steering gear assembly, double screws may have been assembled on top of each other, which can cause a screw to fall into the gearbox housing.
- What it can cause
- A screw inside the gearbox housing can cause the steering wheel to lock up and increase the risk of a crash.
- What the dealer does
- Dealers will replace the steering gear, free of charge. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed March 1, 2023. Owners may contact Volvo Car's customer service at 1-800-458-1552. Volvo Car's number for this recall is R10213.
- NHTSA's note
- Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.nhtsa.gov.
The repair is free, whatever the age or mileage of the vehicle, and whether or not you are the original owner.
Which vehicles
A recall reaches a range of VINs inside these model years, not every car built in them. Yours may not be covered even if it is listed here, and the only way to find out is NHTSA's own VIN lookup .
How this campaign compares
At 74 vehicles this is a small campaign: 73% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published are as large or larger. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers model years 2019 to 2022, so the oldest vehicles on it were 4 model years old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
Volvo vehicles have been recalled over the steering 27 times before this, most recently in June 2022 as 22V399000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
This site holds the complaint record for 8 of the 12 model years the campaign names. Their owners have filed 307 complaints with NHTSA, 95 of them before this campaign was filed. 18 of those name the steering, the system this recall is about — a count of complaints, not of this defect. The earliest of them reached NHTSA in March 2019, 3 years before this filing.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 12 other recalls published here, the newest being: 25V908000 (back over prevention), 25V282000 (back over prevention), 25V179000 (electrical system), 23V827000 (seat belts).
Check your own car
A VIN check is the only answer for a specific vehicle, and it also shows every other open recall on it, which is usually the reason it is worth doing rather than reading one campaign.
Filed by Volvo Car USA, LLC with NHTSA on January 5, 2023 as campaign 23V001000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
