NOVEMBER 2010 --
Volvo is recalling certain
model year 2011, S80, S60,
XC70 and XC60 vehicles. The
software calibration for the
fuel cut-off functionality
in the engine control module
(ECM) is too sensitive.
Sudden engine stall could
occur increasing the risk of
a crash. Dealers will update
the ECM and TCM with new
software free of charge. The
safety recall is expected to
begin on or before December
10, 2010.

NOVEMBER 2010 --
Volvo is recalling certain
model year 2010 XC60
vehicles. The curtain air
bags may have been
misassembled during the
manufacturing process. This
may cause an air bag to not
deploy or not deploy as
intended. If the curtain air
bag does not perform as
intended in the event of a
vehicle crash necessitating
deployment of that air bag,
it may not properly protect
the occupant, increasing the
risk of injuries. Dealers
will inspect the left and
right curtain air bag
assembly and adjust if
necessary. This service will
be performed free of charge.
The safety recall is
expected to begin during
November 2010. .

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.

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
airbag may not deploy as
intended or at all, and
therefore will not be able
to properly protect the
driver, increasing the risk
of injuries. Dealers will
install a metal shim in the
driver's air bag clockspring
wiring connector. This
service will be performed
free of charge. The safety
recall began on October 20,
2010. 10V-489
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,
in the presence of an
ignition source, could
result in a fire. Dealers
will inspect the fuel line
rail cover for proper
attachment and reattach if
necessary free of charge.
The safety recall began on
December 28, 2009. 09V-477
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.

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
