The risk
If the wobble persists and is left untreated, damage may occur which could impair vehicle control and a crash could occur without prior notice.

Dealers will repair and replace the front vertical shocks on each side of the front suspension and add a horizontal stabilizer. The recall began on february 20, 2006. Owners may contact volvo trucks at 1-[removed].
