What’s wrong with it?
The short screws can cause the hardware to separate from the suspension system and become a road hazard, increasing the risk of a crash or injury.
Volvo Trucks North America (Volvo Trucks) is recalling one Watson and Chalin steerable lift axle suspension system with part number SL2065.27.
The lower rear pivot cap screws may not be long enough to sufficiently engage the locking feature of the corresponding nuts.
