STEERING
- The defect
- Volvo Bus Corporation (Volvo Bus) is recalling certain 2024 Volvo 9700 vehicles. The castellated nuts securing the steering gear link rod to the steering arm and/or the pitman arm may not have been tightened properly, which can allow it to loosen.
- What it can cause
- A loose steering gear link rod can cause a loss of steering control, increasing the risk of a crash.
- What the dealer does
- Prevost will tighten the castellated nuts, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed July 18, 2024. Owners may contact Volvo Bus customer service at 1-866-870-2046. Volvo Bus' number for this recall is SR24-84.
- 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 10 vehicles this is a small campaign: 92% 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 one model year, 2024, and the defect was reported to NHTSA in 2024, at or before the oldest model year it covers — as current as a recall gets.
Volvo Bus vehicles have been recalled over the steering once before this, most recently in February 2024 as 24V083000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 2 other recalls published here: 25V469000 (equipment), 24V083000 (steering).
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 Bus Corporation with NHTSA on July 9, 2024 as campaign 24V524000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
