Volvo Trucks North America is recalling certain VNL and VNR trucks due to a steering issue, according to National Highway Traffic Safety Administration documents.

According to NHTSA, the steering gear mounting fasteners may be insufficiently tightened, allowing the steering gear to loosen. A loose steering gear can cause a loss of vehicle control, increasing the risk of a crash.

Owners of affected trucks will be notified by Volvo. Dealers will inspect and re-torque the steering gear to a higher value. Also, the steering gear will be replaced as needed. Recalls began Friday, Nov. 15.

For questions, call Volvo Trucks customer service at 800-528-6586 with recall number RVXX1906. NHTSA's number for this issue is 19V-756.
