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
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.
08V-033
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
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.
07V-566
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
