BCM2 SW – Safety Notice
Affected vehicles may experience a temporary loss of braking functionality after coasting downhill with ‘B’ mode selected or when using One Pedal Drive. This could potentially lead to a collision.
Install modified software via an Over the Air (OTA) update.
SPA1 Cell Modules
On affected vehicles the High Voltage (HV) Battery may have a manufacturing defect which could cause the battery cells to overheat when the HV Battery is fully charged. In a worst-case scenario there is a risk of fire when the vehicle is parked up with a fully charged HV Battery.
Check and replace the HV Battery if necessary and install modified software.
BCM2 – Push Road
The rod connecting the brake pedal to the brake booster may not have been assembled correctly. The final torque might not be according to manufacturing specification due to deviations in the equipment. If the rod does disconnect the mechanical connection between brake pedal and brake booster cannot be guaranteed. In the worst-case scenario if the rod disconnects the brake pedal function cannot be guaranteed
A Volvo retailer will check and if necessary tighten the rod to correct specification.

PRESSURE IN THE FUEL TANK COULD CAUSE THE FUEL LEVEL SENDER TO INDICATE FUEL IN THE TANK WHEN IT COULD BE EMPTY
Pressure in the fuel tank could cause the fuel level sender to indicate fuel in the tank when it could be empty.
Update software which will allow the electronic fuel tank ventilation valve to release pressure when required.
THERE IS A RISK THAT THE 15AMP FUSE COULD BLOW WHICH WILL PREVENT THE LOW PRESSURE FUEL PUMP FROM OPERATING
There is a risk that the 15amp fuse could blow which will prevent the low pressure fuel pump operating.
Replace the 15A fuse with a 20A fuse which can withstand this peak.

RETAINING BOLT FOR INFLATABLE CURTAIN MAY BE BROKEN
The retaining bolts used to assemble the Inflatable Curtain may be broken and offer less protection in the event of an incident.
On affected vehicles replace all retaining bolts.
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.
DETACHABLE TOW BAR MAY WORK LOOSE
Under certain conditions the detachable tow bar may work loose resulting in the tow bar becoming detached from the vehicle.
Replace the tow ball and housing with a calibrated unit.
DETACHABLE TOW BAR MAY WORK LOOSE
A combination of internal and external forces caused the towball to prematurelydetach itself from the towball housing resulting in separation of the trailer from the drawing unit.
All towballs and housing will initially be modified and then replaced with calibrated units at a later date.
