What's wrong?
The tie rod assembly on a 2025 Volvo Vn truck is part of the steering linkage at the front axle. It connects steering movement to the wheels so the truck points where the driver turns the wheel. Inside the tie rod end, a ball stud lets the linkage move through suspension travel while still holding the steering connection.
On the affected trucks, the ball stud inside the tie rod assembly went through the wrong heat treatment process. Heat treatment is supposed to harden the metal to the right strength. The supplier mixed experimental ball studs with production parts, and those parts were installed in front axle assemblies. A ball stud with the wrong hardness can break, and if it breaks, the steering linkage loses its connection and the driver can suddenly lose steering control.
There is no warning sign before failure. The driver should not expect a noise, warning light, or gradual change in steering feel before the part breaks.
