FIRE MAY OCCUR
On certain five cylinder engines it is possible that the high pressure fuel pipes may not have been correctly installed and may leak. This should be identified by a smell of fuel from the engine bay. However it is possible that in extreme cases an engine bay fire could occur.
Recall all affected vehicles and replace the high pressure pipes.
ENGINE MAY CUT OUT
When driving at low speeds a fault within the software calibration of the engine and transmission control modules may lead to a drop in the engine idle speed when braking or releasing the accelerator. In extreme cases this may result in the engine cutting out without warning.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to upgrade the engine/transmission software.

BATTERY MAY OVERHEAT
Garmin have identified that certain model Nuvi portable navigation products fitted with a specific battery and printed circuit board design can under rare circumstances overheat. This could result in a unit fire.
Volvo are assisting Garmin by writing to all owners who may have these units and requesting then to check their unit's serial number against information contained on Garmin's website. If an affected unit is identified then return the unit to Garmin for the replacement of the battery.
AIRBAG CURTAIN MAY NOT DEPLOY CORRECTLY
The inflatable curtain may have been fitted incorrectly which could prevent it from deploying as intended.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to check and where necessary adjust the curtain.
STEERING BOX MAY WORK LOOSE
It is possible that the steering box to mounting bracket bolts maybe too long which will cause the bolts bottoming out. Should this occur it can result in the steering box working loose and if not rectified possible detachment of the steering box.
Recall all affected vehicle and check the steering box mounting bolts if it is found that the incorrect bolts have been fitted then the steering box will be removed and modified to accept the correct bolts and refitted using the correct bolts.
ENGINE SPEED MAY INCREASE WITHOUT WARNING.
It is possible that the engine oil level may rise above its maximum level due to overfilling and/or dilution by fuel. This may result in the engine speed being maintained or possibly increased after the throttle pedal has been released. In extreme cases it is possible that the engine may continue to run after it has been switched off.
Recall all affected vehicles and carry out an Engine Control Module software upgrade and adjust the engine oil. The new ECM upgrade will improve adaption of different blends of fuel and include a dashboard text warning message if the oil level reaches too high a level.

AIRBAG MAY NOT DEPLOY AS INTENDED.
It is possible that an electrical short circuit within a connector could result in the illumination of the Airbag System Service Required message and Supplemental Restraint System warning lamp on the dashboard. Should this occur the driver's airbag would not deploy as intended if the vehicle is involved in a collision.
Recall all affected vehicles to check and rework the connector.
WHEEL MAY BECOME LOOSE
It has been identified that the standard wheel securing bolts may not have undergone the correct hardening process. This will result in corrosion a noise and/or vibration. If this condition is not rectified there is a possibility that the wheel may become loose and detach.
Recall all affected vehicles and replace the standard wheel bolts.

ENGINE MAY OVERHEAT
It is possible that the hose connection between the coolant expansion tank and the bleed hose can work loose. If this should occur then coolant will leak and air will enter the system. Under these conditions the low coolant level warning light will not function. If the vehicle is driven in this condition it will cause engine damage and in the extreme possible failure.
Recall the affected vehicle to replace the tank and bleeder hose.
