What's wrong, in plain English
Some Volvo VNL trucks have a driver-assist feature that helps guide the truck's steering if it starts to oversteer. This feature may malfunction, and if it does, it can cause the driver to lose control of the truck's steering while the vehicle is being driven.
What you should do
2. Volvo will disable the oversteer guidance feature through an over-the-air software update, or a dealer can do it; contact Volvo Trucks customer service at 1-800-528-6586.
3. The repair is free.
