Affected owners will be contacted and advised to make an appointment with their nearest Volvo Group Australia dealership to arrange for repair. For more information, owners can contact their nearest authorised Volvo Group Australia repairing dealer on 07 3718 3500 or email vga.warranty@volvo.com
Defect
Some of the bearing cups in the front and/or interaxles have been assembled without a thrust washer. If the vehicle is operated under these conditions, the universal joint may ultimately break.
