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.
08V-206
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
