Official summary
Volvo: steering wheel misaligned, pulling while driving. When diagnosing a pulling condition while driving, incorrect wheel alignment, or incorrect steering wheel position, the root cause may be too much play in the lower control arm bolts in the rear suspension. After the chassis range in the header, a bolt with a wider waist was introduced to take up this play. *pe
What a TSB means. Technical service bulletins are repair guidance manufacturers send to dealers — they are not recalls, and repairs are not automatically free (warranty extensions are an exception worth checking). The full document is available via NHTSA’s vehicle lookup.
