Volvo Group Australia is recalling 1123 UD Quons between the year range 2017 – 2021.
A notice issued today said that due to a manufacturing defect, the driveshaft universal joint play may exceed the manufacturer’s tolerance.
If the vehicle continues to operate under these conditions, grease may leak and debris may intrude into the universal joint bearing cups causing the joint to break.
This could result in the vehicle becoming suddenly inoperable.
“If the vehicle becomes inoperable, it can increase the risk of an accident causing serious injury or death to vehicle occupants and/or other road users,” the recall notice added.
Owners of affected vehicles can contact their nearest authorised Volvo Group Australia dealer to have the work carried out free of charge.
