ONE OR MORE AIRBAGS MAY FAIL TO DEPLOY IN THE EVENT OF A COLLISION
It has been identified by the manufacturer that the air-bag initiator does not meet specification. This can therefore result in the initiator not functioning correctly which can lead to none deployment of the air-bag. Should a collision occur then there is an increased risk of injury to the occupants of the vehicle.
Recall all affected vehicles to replace the air-bags with a new quality assured component.

SEATBELT MAY SEPARATE FROM THE BUCKLE
It has been identified there is a possibility the front seatbelt buckle stud may not have been punched correctly during production. This may result in a separation between the buckle and seatbelt bracket if the vehicle is involved in a collision.
Recall all affected vehicles to inspect the seatbelt buckle and if required to replace the seatbelt buckle.

Recall all affected vehicles to inspect the seatbelt buckle and if required to replace the seatbelt buckle.
COOLANT LEAKAGE MAY RESULT IN A FIRE
It has been identified that during the engine warm-up process and under certain driving/climate conditions for instance periods of high acceleration or high engine load immediately after a cold start in cold climates there is the possibility for coolant leakage or oil seepage. This can lead to the possibility in a worst-case scenario of smoke or a slow developing fire in the engine compartment. However the driver will receive a warning message on the Driver�s Information Module indicating a low coolant level.
Recall all affected vehicles to modify the coolant bypass valve and install a new exhaust manifold gasket.
DRIVER'S AIRBAG MODULE MAY NOT DEPLOY AS INTENDED
Due to a potential manufacturing defect the gas generator in the driver�s airbag module may not deploy as intended. This may reduce the affectivities of the airbag.
On affected vehicles replace the driver's air bag module.

On affected vehicles replace the driver's air bag module.
STALLING AND LOSS OF STEERING POWER ASSISTANCE
Involved vehicles may have a software issue which could cause the engine to momentarily cut-out and restart while driving. This could also cause disturbances in some electrical systems such as shut down of the instrument cluster infotainment system and loss of power steering assistance.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and upgrade the software of the control units.

FUEL GUAGE MAY NOT SHOW FUEL LEVEL CORRECTLY
Fuel gauge may not show correct level
The remedy is not yet available for all models. Until a remedy is available the manufacturer advises to maintain fuel level above approx one third.

FUEL GUAGE MAY NOT SHOW FUEL LEVEL CORRECTLY
Fuel gauge may not show correct level
Dependent on affected Model update software. Until updated the manufacturer advises to maintain fuel level above approx one third.
ENGINE MAY FAIL
The crankshaft may not have been sufficiently hardened and may fail this in turn can lead to sudden and catastrophic engine failure. The failure may be preceded by loss of power and a knocking noise.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and replace the engine.

Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and replace the engine.
PARKING BRAKE MAY UNINTENTIONALLY RELEASE
Vehicles with manual gearboxes and start/stop functionality have Parking Brake Module (PBM) software that may allow the parking brake to unintentionally release. The unintended release of the parking brake can only occur when the engine is running and the gearstick moved so it will happen when the vehicle is attended.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to download upgraded Parking Brake Module (PBM) software.
LOSS OF POWER STEERING ASSISTANCE
The auxiliary drive belt tensioner can suffer from premature wear which may cause it to fail. This can lead to loss of steering power assistance and a slight possibility of loss of drive should the drive belt or tensioner invade the cambelt area.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to replace the auxiliary drive belt and tensioner.
TRIM PANEL MAY CAUSE INJURY DURING COLLISION
Volvo's quality follow-up procedures have identified an issue with a limited number of S60 & V60 Volvos (MY2013). The securing screws for the inner A-pillar panels may have been torqued incorrectly. This could cause the A-pillar panels to crack and this may affect the attachment of the trims during a collision should the inflatable curtain be activated. If the trims become detached they could cause injury to the occupants in the front seats. The corrective action is to replace both A-pillar trims as well as the securing screws.
Replace both trim panels and screws.

REDUCED BRAKING PERFORMANCE
Investigations have identified the wiper arm mechanism may chafe against the brake booster vacuum line. If this chafing occurs it could lead to a gradual reduction of the power assisted braking and more effort would need to be applied to the brake pedal than usual to slow the vehicle down. In a worst case the reduction of braking assistance could occur suddenly without any prior warning
Inspect the brake booster vacuum line. If it is chafed then it should be replaced and routed correctly. If the line is not chafed it should re-routed to ensure no issues going forward.
