MAY 2011 --
Volvo is
recalling certain model year 2010-2011 XC90
vehicles manufactured from January 29, 2010,
through August 16, 2010. The power steering
fluid may leak from the oil pipe connection
at the steering gear valve housing. This
condition could lead to a sudden loss of
power steering, increasing the risk of a
crash. Dealers will replace the oil pipes on
the power steering rack free of charge. The
recall is scheduled to begin during June
2011. . 11V-286
NOVEMBER 2010 --
Volvo is recalling certain vehicles equipped with Garmin 760 portable Global
Positioning System (GPS) units because the batteries on those units may
overheat. An overheated battery could lead to a fire. Volvo advises owners to
please stop using the Garmin portable GPS device immediately, and visit the
Garmin website to determine if their unit is affected. The unit's battery will
be replaced with a new battery and a spacer will be inserted on top of the
battery next to the PCB. This service will be performed free of charge. The
safety recall began on November 18, 2010. 10V-566
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 certain
model year 2001-2005 S80,
model year 2001-2004 V70,
S60, XC70 and model year
2003-2005 XC90 vehicles sold
in or registered in the
states of Alabama, Arizona,
Arkansas, California,
Florida, Georgia, Hawaii,
Kentucky, Louisiana,
Mississippi, Nevada, New
Mexico, North Carolina,
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
during January 2010.
09V-483
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. 08V206
DECEMBER -- 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
