Showing 476–500 of 1,008 recalls.
EXHAUST SLEEVE MAY DETACH
It has been established that the securing process for the exhaust tail pipe sleeve may not be to specification and result in the tail pipe sleeve detaching. This could cause an issue for other road users.
Recall all affected vehicles and secure the exhaust tail pipe sleeve.
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.

HANDBRAKE MAY NOT APPLY CORRECTLY
Due to an inadequate hardening process it is possible that the pawl plate in the top of the handbrake valve can be subjected to premature wear. This can in extremes affect the operation of the handbrake and possible result in a vehicle roll away.
Recall all affected vehicles and replace the handbrake valve.
POSSIBLE LOSS OF STEERING CONTROL
It is possible that the steering drag link end ball joint nut may not have been torqued to the correct specification. This can lead to a loosening of the nut and in extreme cases detachment of the joint with the associated loss of control of the vehicle.
Recall all affected vehicle and check torque of drag link end nut. If loose replace nut and torque to the correct specification.
OIL MAY LEAK
Hydraulic oil may leak from the high pressure pipe to flange joint fixed to the hydraulic fan. This could cause oil to be left on the carriageway or in the worst case fire. Note: The affected vehicles should be fitted with automatically operated fire suppression equipment.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to test and where necessary replace the high pressure hose and pipe assembly with quality assured components.
ELECTRONIC PARKING BRAKE (EPB) MAY FAIL
Due to an issue within the Electronic Control Unit (ECU) vehicles equipped with the auto release function on the electronic parking brake may not have the parking brake applied when requested by the driver. It is possible that the driver may not be aware of the non-application of the parking brake.
Recall all affected vehicles and update ECU software.
LOSS OF DRIVE
It is possible that the right hand driveshaft may not have been manufactured to the correct specification. This can ultimately result in the failure of the drive shaft. This will be identified to the driver by noise and the loss of drive.
Recall all affected vehicles and replace the right hand driveshaft.

Recall all affected vehicles and replace the right hand driveshaft.
INCORRECT SEAT BOLTS FITTED
It is possible that the wrong specification mounting bolts have been used on the passenger seat floor slider. If involved in an accident/collision it is extremely possible that the bolts could fail and result in detachment of the seat.
Recall all the affected vehicle to check the mounting bolt and replace if required.
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.

RISK OF FIRE
Potential leakage from base of the test point on the high-pressure hose connecting fan pump to fan drive motor on two chassis types. If leakage occurs oil could spray on hot engine components and cause a fire.
Fitting of a rubber protection hose.
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.

SHORT CIRCUIT MAY OCCUR
A heat shield mounted on the frame can fall down on the starter motor and could cause a short circuit.The heat shield breaks due to fatigue caused by vibrations.
Remove heat shield.

GEARBOX MAY REMAIN IN GEAR WHEN NEUTRAL IS SELECTED
It is possible that an internal gear selector fork may failure which can result in the gearbox still being in gear when neutral is selected. This could unintentionally allow the vehicle to move off on its own.
Recall all affected vehicles and replace the gear selector fork.
