Recall 21E057000: Suspension, Multiple Axle

NHTSA recall 21E057000 · announced June 24, 2021 · Watson & Chalin · 1 units affected

The problem

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.

The risk

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.

What to do

Volvo Trucks will install a replacement lower rear pivot fastener hardware kit, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed on July 30, 2021. Owners may contact Volvo Trucks customer service at 1-800-528-6586.
