BATTERY GROUND CABLE MAY SHORT CIRCUIT
The battery positive cable may be in conflict with the starter motor solenoid. If a conflict does develop a short circuit of the battery ground cable will occur. This may result in smoke appearing from under the bonnet or a failure to start with warning lamps illuminated.
Recalled vehicles will have the distance between the battery positive cable checked and adjusted if the clearance is less than 4mm.

RISK OF FIRE
There is a possibility of a thermal malfunction on the fuel filter water separator bowl with the heater. This can result in overheating due to low fuel level in combination with a faulty thermostat in the water separator bowl
Recall affected vehicles fit heat shield and check/reconnect cable in the electrical connector on the fuel filter/water separator housing

REAR AXLE V-STAY BALL JOINT CAN PREMATURELY WEAR.
At high inclination the sealing boot of the axle 'V' stay ball joint can be damaged and allow the ingress of water and dirt which can cause the ball joint to wear prematurely and cause the axle to become loose.
Recall affected vehicles and fit modified 'V' stay
HUB BEARING MAY FAIL
Water and dirt can penetrate into the trailing axle hub which can lead to severe damage and eventual failure of the hub bearings
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to fit a deflector to the axle hub mounting. Inspect the bearings hubs and axle for damage. Replace parts where necessary.

ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL MALFUNCTION
Should the adaptive cruise control (ACC) radar malfunction the cruise control will not deactivate automatically. As a consequence the vehicle will accelerate up to the set speed of the cruise control even though ACC is active.
Recall affected vehicles and inspect the system; rectifying as necessary.

RISK OF OVERHEATING IN THE LCM
The possibility exists that the light control module may overheat
Recall likely to be affected vehicles and upgrade the software.

WINDSCREEN MAY SEPARATE FROM SUPPORT AREAS ON IMPACT
Internal test have shown that due to contamination of the windscreen primer if the vehicle is subject to an impact the windsceen may separate from the support area of the roof and pillars.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected inspect and where necessary replace the windscreen

BRAKE PEDAL OPERATION MAY REQUIRE HIGHER PEDAL PRESSURE
Under certain circumstances it is necessary to use a higher then normal brake pedal pressure in order to bring the vehicle to a halt. The existence of the fault or otherwise depending on the availability of a signal in the I-shift which reduces and disengages the drive torque.
Recalled vehicles will receive updated software tailored to the control unit fitted.

CRACKING IN THE HEAT EXCHANGER
A crack in the heat exchanger caused by high pressure peaks in the heating system may result in coolant entering the body-builder electrical centre.
Recalled vehicles will be inspected for signs of coolant loss and fitted with a shield to protect the electrical centre.

FAULTY EARTH CABLE
An interrupted earth cable can cause current to return to the battery through the steering shaft.
Recalled vehicles will have the earth cable checked for damage and continuity of earth connections.Should any damage be found this will be repaired and the steering shaft renewed.
ELECTRIC COOLING FAN MAY OVERHEAT
Volvo have identified that due to certain climatic conditions the electric cooling fan may overheat and in extreme cases cause a fire within the engine bay.
Recalled vehicles will have the cooling fan assembly replaced.
