JULY 2011 -- Volvo is recalling certain model year 2007 S80 passenger cars manufactured from
March 8, 2006, through May 16, 2007. The power steering reservoir return hose
may have been incorrectly routed, which can result in increased pressure in the
power steering system. The power steering return hose may burst at the steering
gear due to the increased pressure, resulting in a loss of power steering fluid.
The driver may experience a sudden loss of power steering, increasing the risk
of a crash. Volvo dealers will inspect the routing of the power steering
reservoir return hose and make repairs as necessary, free of charge. The safety
recall is expected to begin during August 2011. 11V-378
JUNE 2011 --
Volvo is recalling certain model year 2012 S60 passenger cars manufactured from
January 18, 2011, through January 28, 2011. The male part of the fuel line quick
connector end shape was produced with dimensions out of specification, leading
to excessive assembly force on the female connector assembly and the possibility
that the locking function may not be engaged. If a vehicle exhibits this
condition, the fuel line quick connector may detach and the engine may stall,
increasing the risk of a crash. The customer may also notice a fuel smell and
leakage. A fuel leak in the presence of an ignition source could result in a
fire. Volvo dealers will replace the fuel lines free of charge. The safety

software free of charge. The safety recall is expected to begin on or before
December 10, 2010. 10V-579
NOVEMBER 2010 --
Volvo is recalling certain passenger vehicles equipped with power front
passenger seats. The front seat rail's detection system was manufactured
incorrectly and may permit the passenger to forward the seat beyond the intended
maximum. Positioning of the seat beyond the intended maximum can cause increased
risk of injury to the passenger in the event of a crash. Dealers will inspect
the front passenger side seat rails for the presence of an "end stop" and repair
the vehicles as necessary free of charge. The manufacturer has not yet provided
an owner notification schedule. 10V-591
OCTOBER 2010 -- Volvo is recalling certain model year 2010-2011 S80,
XC70, model year 2011 XC60 and model year 2010 V70 vehicles. There may be an
intermittent fault in the driver's airbag clockspring wiring connector for the
supplemental restraint system. In the event of a crash, the driver's frontal

label with correct maximum tire pressure information to the owner's manual. This
service will be performed free of charge. The recall is expected to begin during
June 2010. 10V-190
APRIL 2010 -- Volvo is recalling certain
model year 2010 XC90 vehicles. A leak may develop in the fuel line between the
line and a connector. Fuel odor may be detected. A fuel leak in the presence of
an ignition source can lead to a fire at the right front wheel. Dealers will
inspect the date code printed on the fuel line and replace the fuel pressure
line if it falls within the recalled range free of charge. The recall is
expected to begin during May 2010. 10V-147
DECEMBER 2009 -
Volvo is recalling model
year 2010 XC60 vehicles. The
fuel line rail cover that
protects the fuel lines
under the vehicle may not be
properly attached exposing
the fuel lines to damage.
Damage to the fuel lines may
result in a fuel leak which,

Oklahoma, South Carolina,
Tennessee, Texas, Utah,
Virginia and the U.S.
territories. When exposed to
certain environmental
conditions (hot climate and
temperature cycling) over
time and in combination with
varying fuel quality, the
fuel pump can develop cracks
in the fuel pump flange. If
the condition occurs vehicle
owners may notice fuel smell
and/or fuel leak which, in
the presence of an ignition
source, could result in a
fire. Dealers will inspect
the fuel pump installed in
the vehicle, and if
necessary replace the fuel
pump with a part of a
modified design. This
service will be performed
free of charge. The safety
recall is expected to begin

09V-483
NOVEMBER 2009 --
Volvo is recalling model
year 2010 XC60 vehicles. The
driver's seat side cover
panel (seat control panel)
in certain driver's side
impacts may release the
attachment of the seatbelt
to the seat frame. Should
this condition occur in a
crash the seatbelt may fail
to properly restrain the
occupant increasing the risk
of injury. Dealers will
modify the inside of the
driver's seat side cover
panel free of charge. The
recall is expected to begin
on or before December 15,
2009. 09V-445
SEPTEMBER 2009 --
Volvo is recalling model
year 2008-2010 S80, model
year 2009-2010 XC70 and
model year XC60 vehicles.
Under certain conditions the
software within the central
electronic module (CEM) may
not send a signal to the
fuel pump electronic module
(PEM). This missing signal
to the PEM inhibits the
start of the fuel pump. The
driver may be able to start
the engine in spite of the
fuel pump not being
activated due to residual
pressure in the fuel system.
In some cases, the driver
may be able to drive the
vehicle a short distance at
idle but then the engine may
stall. If the vehicle stalls
in certain conditions, a
crash could occur. Dealers
will download software to
the vehicles' CEM free of
charge. The recall began on
September 30, 2009. Vehicles
in dealer's inventory will
be repaired prior to
delivery. 09V-343
JUNE 2009 --
Volvo is recalling 17,614 Y
2008-2009 S80, V70, and XC70
vehicles. The engine cooling
fan may stop working due to
a software programming error
in the fan control module (FCM).
Depending on driving
conditions, the customer may
experience reduced air
conditioning performance,
and/or rapid increase in
engine coolant temperature.
This situation may result in
loss of cooling system
function and engine failure.
The driver may not have
sufficient time to react to
the warning light(s) or the
text message in the
instrument panel, increasing
the risk of a crash. Dealers
will replace the fan control
module free of charge. The
recall is expected to begin
during July 2009.
09V-218
APRIL 2009 --
Volvo is
recalling 12,303 MY
2007-2008 S80 and XC70
vehicles. The diagnostic
software in the central
electronic module (CEM) may
cause a malfunction of the
windshield wiper
functionality. If this
condition occurs, the
windshield wipers may not
operate when activated; or
in certain cases the
windshield wipers may
activate when not switched
on. Operating a motor
vehicle during inclement
weather conditions without
functioning windshield
wipers can increase the risk
of a crash. Dealers will
inspect the CEM and upgrade
the software free of charge.
The recall is expected to
begin during May 2009.
09V-139
JULY 2008
-- Volvo is recalling
1,020 MY 2008-2009 S40, V50,
C30, C70 vehicles. A section
of the power steering return
line hose was not properly
cured and does not meet
specifications. The power
steering hoses were
manufactured in France. If
the power steering return
hose fails, a sudden rupture
of the hose can occur. This
can result in a rapid
drainage of the power
steering fluid in the system
and a complete loss of power
assistance, increasing the
risk of a crash. Dealers
will inspect and replace the
steering return line hose
assembly. The recall is
expected to begin during
August 2008. 08V329
MAY 2008
-- Volvo is recalling
102 MY 2008 XC90 and S80
vehicles equipped with V8
engines. These vehicles may
have been built with
incorrect bolts to the
engine mount. The aluminum
bracket for the engine mount
could break due to lack of
adequate clamping force.
This could cause the engine
to come in contact with the
sub-frame, ultimately
resulting in a reduced
engine torque or stalling of
the engine without prior
warning, increasing the risk
of a crash. Dealers will
inspect the engine mount
bolts for specific markings.
If any of the bolts contain
the incorrect markings, the
bracket and bolts will be
replaced. All owners have
been contacted and
arrangements have been made
to repair these vehicles.
08V-206
APRIL
2008 -- Volvo is
recalling 7 MY 2008 V50
passenger vehicles equipped
with roof rails. Bolts have
been found to be out of
specification. This has
caused less tread length on
the bolts which in turn has
lead to insufficient
clamping force in the joint
due to the washer getting
stuck when tightening the
bolts. When carrying roof
cargo, the rails may come
loose during heavy braking
and/or sudden stops
increasing the possibility
of a crash. Due to the
limited number of vehicles
involved, owners have been
notified and will have the
roof rail bolts replaced
free of charge. 08V197
MARCH
2008 -- Volvo is
recalling 1,114 MY 2007 C30,
C70, S40, and V50 passenger
vehicles. A soft anodized
layer in the master cylinder
may trigger early wear on a
rubber seal that can result
in internal leakage of brake
fluid. If affected, the
driver may experience
reduced brake performance
when applying and
maintaining force of the
brake pedal. The capacity to
brake will gradually
deteriorate forcing the
driver to use a higher than
expected force on the brake
pedal when compared to an
intact brake system. The
deterioration can eventually
result in complete loss of
the brake system
functionality increasing the
risk of a crash. Dealers
will inspect the master
cylinder. The brake master
cylinder and brake fluid
reservoir will be replaced
and certain brake lines
cleaned. The recall is
expected to begin during
April 2008. 08V101
JANUARY
2008 -- Volvo is recalling 1,900 MY 2008
V70 and XC70 vehicles equipped with rear integrated booster
seats for failing to comply with the labeling requirements of
Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 213, "Child Restraint
Systems." Labels on the affected vehicles are missing warning
information indicating that 'death or serious injury can occur'
if the manufacturer's instructions are not followed when using
child restraint systems. This standard specifies requirements
for child restraint systems used in motor vehicles and aircraft
for the purpose of reducing the number of children killed or
injured in motor vehicle crashes and in aircraft. Dealers will
install a new label with the correct warning information. The
manufacturer has not yet provided an owner notification schedule
for this campaign. 08V-032
JANUARY
2008 -- Volvo is
recalling 23,000 MY
2004-2006 S40 and V50
vehicles sold in or
currently registered in the
states of Connecticut,
Delaware, Illinois, Indiana,
Iowa, Maine, Maryland,
Massachusetts, Michigan,
Minnesota, Missouri, New
Hampshire, New Jersey, New
York, Ohio, Pennsylvania,
Rhode Island, Vermont, West
Virginia, Wisconsin, and the
District of Columbia.
Reoccurring, long-term
exposure to certain
environmental conditions
such as salty-wet
conditions, it is possible
for the pump electronic
module (PEM) to become
corroded internally. This
can cause a faulty signal to
the fuel pump, resulting in
low or no fuel pressure to
the engine. If this occurs,
the check engine light may
illuminate. In some cases,
the vehicle may fail to
start or may stall,
increasing the risk of a
crash. Dealers will replace
the PEM and install it in a
new location to prevent
corrosion. The manufacturer
has not yet provided an
owner notification schedule
for this campaign. 08V033
DECEMBER
2007 -- Volvo is recalling 37,000 MY
2007-2008 XC90 sport utility vehicles. Under certain conditions,
the climate control module (CCM) may receive a 'shut-down
signal' from the engine control module (ECM) after ignition key
insertion. If this condition occurs, the climate control
functions will not be available (including the defroster) during
that driving cycle. Inoperative defrosters under inclement
weather conditions could cause impaired visibility which has the
potential to result in personal injury and/or vehicle and
property damage. The ECM software will be upgraded. The
manufacturer has not yet provided an owner notification schedule
for this campaign. 07V-563
DECEMBER 2007 -- Volvo
is recalling 1,695 MY 2008
XC70 sport utility vehicles
for failing to conform to
the requirements of Federal
Motor Vehicle Safety
Standard No. 120, "Tire
Selection and Rims for Motor
Vehicles Other Than
Passenger Cars." The wheel
information label located on
the rear driver's side door
pillar was printed missing
the wheel size (rim)
information. The purpose of
this standard is to provide
safe operational performance
by ensuring that vehicles to
which it applies are
equipped with tires of
adequate size and load
rating and with rims of
appropriate size and type
designation. Owners will be
provided with a correct
certification label and
installation instructions.
If the owner prefers, a
dealer can install the label
for them. The manufacturer
has not yet provided an
owner notification schedule
for this campaign. 07V566
OCTOBER
2007 -- Volvo is recalling 5,002 MY 2008
XC70 passenger vehicles. Two deviations have been found in the
supplemental restraint system (SRS) control unit software. These
deviations may result in a late deployment of the inflatable
curtain (IC) and side impact protection system (SIPS) air bags
in certain side impact crash situations. In addition, this
software error may also cause the 'SRS Airbag - Service Urgent'
message and SRS warning light to illuminate. Late deployment of
the IC and SIPS air bags in certain side impact crash situations
could increase the risk of injury to the vehicle occupant.
Dealers will perform a software upgrade of the SRS control unit.
The recall is expected to begin during November 2007. 07V-500 |
