A lot of Qualcom's going out like this ^^^^, telling drivers to park them!

(Published by NHTSA on 2016-03-02)
Recall Summary: Volvo Trucks North America (Volvo) is recalling certain model year 2009-2010 VT trucks manufactured from April 9, 2008, through September 24, 2009, and certain 2016 model VNL and VNM trucks manufactured from January 2, 2015, through to November 6, 2015. The affected vehicles are equipped with USK non-greasable drag links that may experience corrosion of the ball joints due to the seals being compromised, possibly resulting in accelerated wear and failure of the ball joint.
Hazard: Failure of the ball joint may cause separation of the socket and a complete loss of steering, increasing the risk of a crash.
Remedy: Volvo will notify owners, and dealers will replace the drag links, free of charge. The recall is expected to begin April 15, 2016. Owners may contact Volvo customer service at 1-800-528-6586. Volvo's number for this recall is RVXX1601. Note: This recall is an expansion of a previous recall 15V-651.
Additional Info: Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.

I 24 just west of Chattanooga one truck and nine cars
 
I remember some years ago my Freightliner was recalled to replace steering column bolts. Got in the barn one Friday and was told to immediately take it to FL to replace the bolts as it was an imminent hazard. Got there and was told you couldn't leave until the bolts were replaced...except they didn't have the bolts in stock and were on order...I got back in my truck and left...
