Product
Vehicles: VOLVO CAR XC90. Units affected: 4,992
Reason
A leak may occur from the internal pipes of the steering gear. In most cases the leak will be gradual and will drain the power steering oil generating noise and a slow decrease in the power steering assistance. In the worst case there could be a complete loss of power steering fluid and steering assistance without any warning to the driver. Remedy: Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to replace the internal pipe set.
