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
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.
10V-579
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
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

YAHOO NEWS --
November 11, 2010 – Volvo is
recalling a total of 11,000 vehicles to fix
problems that could pose safety risks.
The Volvo
recall affects nearly 10,000 vehicles to fix

a crash.
The recall
includes certain S80 sedans and XC70
crossover vehicles from the 2010-2011 model
year and model year 2010 V70 wagons.
The automaker
said there could be a problem with a wiring
connector in the air bag system that might
prevent the front air bag from protecting
the driver in a crash.
Volvo also
said the vehicles will be fixed free of
charge, and the recall is expected to begin
in late October.

JULY
2010 --
Volvo is recalling certain
model year 2007-2010 S80
vehicles for failing to
comply with the requirements
of Federal Motor Vehicle
Safety Standard No. 110,
"Tire Selection and Rims."
The tire and loading
information label and a page
in the owner's manual
contain incorrect maximum
permissible inflation
pressure and the tire
pressure monitoring system (TPMS)
software has an incorrect
trigger level. These
vehicles do not meet the
required safety standards.
Dealers will update the
vehicles with a new tire and
loading information label,
owner's manual label and
TPMS software. This service
will be performed free of
charge. The manufacturer has
not yet provided an owner
notification schedule.
10V-335
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
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
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.
