Volvo Recalls

Volvo Recall: Possible Seat Belt Defect
Volvo is recalling certain 2010 XC60 vehicles, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration announced Tuesday, November 17, 2009. In the 9,667 vehicles affected by the recall, the driver’s side seat control panel could release the seatbelt from the seat frame, consequently increasing the risk of injury in the event of a crash. Dealers will fix the driver’s side seat control panel for free.

Volvo Recall: Engine Stall and Accident Risk
Volvo is recalling 38,700 MY 2003-2004 V70 and S60 vehicles. The fuel pressure sensor located on the left end of the fuel rail may, at times, transmit an incorrect signal regarding the fuel pressure to the engine control module. If the signal is outside of the pre-programmed allowable limits, a diagnostic trouble code may be set and the check engine light will come on. The soldered joints on the circuit board of the fuel pressure sensor may crack due to temperature changes and excessive vibrations. Misfire may occur during driving that, in turn, will reduce the engine torque and, in the worst case scenario, the engine may stall without warning. In certain traffic situations this could cause an unsafe situation and possibly a crash. Dealers will replace the fuel pressure sensor. The manufacturer has not yet provided an owner notification schedule for this campaign.

Volvo Recall: Defective Left Door
Volvo is recalling 7,828 MY 2007 C70 passenger vehicles. An incorrect temporary assembly instruction resulted in an incorrect assembly of the left door handle Bowden cable attachment. This incorrect assembly may result in the left door not meeting certain legal requirements at a certain crash scenario. Dealers will adjust the left door Bowden cable by removing an existing cable tie and placing the Bowden cable in its designated position.

Volvo Recall: Possible Jack Crank Handle Misplacement and Fire Hazard
Volvo is recalling 42,211 MY 2005 XC90 passenger vehicles. It has been determined that while doing battery maintenance, the jack's crank handle can be misplaced under a bracket which retains the battery. Misplacement of the jack's crank handle can pose a safety risk as it can result in a short circuit of the battery which could then lead to a fire. Dealers will inspect and ensure proper placement of the jack crank handle and a warning label with approved text will be affixed to the bracket which retains the battery. This warning label will inform an operator not to place the jack crank handle between the bracket and the battery. The manufacturer has not yet provided an owner notification schedule.

Volvo Recall: Fuel Leakage and Fire Risk
Volvo is recalling 1,681 MY 2001-2002 S60 passenger vehicles, originally sold in or currently registered in the states of Arizona and Nevada. Due to the combination of fuel quality and climate conditions, the fuel pump may, in certain cases, experience a reduced functionality. The most common symptoms would be fuel odor. Fuel leakage in the presence of an ignition source could result in a fire. Dealers will replace the fuel pump free of charge.

Volvo Recall: Incorrect Tire Pressure Label
Volvo is recalling 19,700 MY 2005-2006 S80, V70 and S60 vehicles for failing to conform to the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 110, “Tire Selection and Rims.” The label denoting the tire and loading pressure information is incorrect. A misprinted label would lead to improper vehicle loading specifications or tire inflation which could result in a tire failure, increasing the risk of a crash. Dealers will mail the correct labels free of charge.
