On March 25, 2016 (81 FR 16264), the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) published a notice in the federal register to inform the public it has determined that commercial motor vehicles manufactured by Volvo Trucks North America (Volvo Trucks) affected by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) Part 573 Safety Recall Report No. 16V–097000 and have not already received the interim or permanent recall remedy repair specified by Volvo in the recall, are likely to cause an accident or breakdown because of a defective steering shaft which may disconnect from the junction block without warning, causing the vehicle to be in an unsafe condition. FMCSA is notifying commercial motor vehicle operators that vehicles subject to the recall without the interim or permanent repair will be subject to an immediate out-of-service order under 49 CFR 396.9 or compatible state regulations. This Notice is effective March 23, 2016.
