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.
