Problem: Vehicle description: heavy duty class 8 vehicles built with a volvo 5.7 (12,500 lbs) front steering axle. Due to hydrogen embrittlement, the front steering axle king pins could have broken during assembly. Continued operation of a vehicle with a broken king pin could allow the pin to work loose.
Risk: This condition can cause erratic steering resulting in loss of steering control increasing the potential for a vehicle accident.
Fix: Dealers will inspect the vehicles for a broken king pin and replace the king pins if broken.
