  • 21 Sept 2010VOLVO CAR S40Ref R/2010/144

    ENGINE MAY OVERHEAT

    Defect

    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.

    Remedy

    Recall the affected vehicle to replace the tank and bleeder hose.

    LOSS OF POWER STEERING FLUID MAY CAUSE A FIRE

    Defect

    A joint on the high pressure line of the power assisted steering may not have been assembled correctly. This may lead to a leakage of steering fluid into the engine bay. This could result in sudden loss of power assistance but in extreme cases it could result in a localised fire within the engine bay.

    Remedy

    Recall affected vehicles to check and if required torque the unit up to the correct specification.
