SUSPENSION:FRONT:CONTROL ARM:LOWER BALL JOINT
Failure of the ball joint may cause separation of the socket and a complete loss of steering, increasing the risk of a crash.
Complaints are reports from owners of this model year, not findings about any particular vehicle, and a model that sold in large numbers will collect more of them. They are counted here as filed; nothing is inferred from them.
Failure of the ball joint may cause separation of the socket and a complete loss of steering, increasing the risk of a crash.
In the event of a crash, an insufficient seat belt weld may prevent the seat belt from properly restraining the occupant. This increases the risk of injury to the seat occupant.
Two 2011 VOLVO VNs can have entirely different histories, and a recall campaign usually covers a build-date window rather than a whole model year — which a VIN does not encode, so only the door-jamb label settles it. Scanning the VIN adds the decode, the crash tests, the fuel economy and the complaints matched to that exact engine, trim and assembly plant.
