FUEL MAY LEAK
On some 2.0 l HDI vehicles potential contact between the fuel return pipe and the diesel filter support may eventually cause the pipe to become worn through friction.
The manufacturer has requested that some protection be added to the pipe to ensure its long-term resistance to wear.
WINDSCREEN WIPERS MAY FAIL
The windscreen wiper motor may fail without warning. This could result in a reduction of the driver's visibility under certain operating conditions and ultimately cause a collision.
Recall all affected vehicles for the replacement of the wiper motor.
AIRBAG MAY DEPLOY INADVERTENTLY
The Heating Ventilation and Air-Conditioning (HVAC) drain tube and grommet may leak water onto the passenger compartment carpeting and/or the Occupant Restraint Control (OCR) module. This can lead to the illumination of the airbag warning lamp and the potential for an inadvertent airbag deployment without warning.
The HVAC drain tube and grommet must be replaced.
FIRE MAY OCCUR
It is possible that the wiring for the power Sliding Door can on the hinge mechanism during operation. This result in the latch mechanism overheating and lead to a possible fire or personal injury.
Recall all affected vehicles for the wiring to be checked repaired or replaced as necessary.
FIRE MAY OCCUR
Volvo quality follow-up procedures have identified an issue on a number of model year 2007 C30 S40 and V50s relating to the engine cooling fan control module. Under certain operating conditions water intrusion could occur into the control module causing a short circuit which in very rare instances could result in a fire in the engine compartment.
To install a water shield and a cable harness with relay in order to control the engine cooling fan module power supply.

HANDBRAKE MAY NOT ENGAGED CORRECTLY
The hand brake release button can become detached from the ratchet control rod which prevents the pawl at the rear of the lever from engaging the ratchet. the hand brake must then be applied by the driver holding the lever in the engaged position.
Two solutions have been developed. a. re-fitment of using high strength loctite adhesive. b. Replacement of the button.
FUEL MAY LEAK
It is possible that during the manufacturing process the wall thickness of the high pressure supply pipe may have been reduced. If the driving conditions of the vehicle cause fuel pressure fluctuations this could cause cracking and result in a fuel leak. Also due to gasket fatigue and prolonged usage the high pressure fuel pump check valve may be come loose and leak.
Recall all affected vehicles for the replacement of the fuel pipe and fuel pump check valve plus gasket.
FUEL MAY LEAK
Due to insufficient tightening of the fuel pressure sensor connected to the engine fuel delivery pipe there is a possibility that over time the pressure sensor could loosen. If loosening occurs fuel could leak past the gasket used in the connection between the sensor and pipe and through the threaded portion of the sensor.
Check and retighten the fuel pressure sensor to the specified torque setting replacing the gasket if necessary.
SHORT CIRCUIT MAY OCCUR
On affected vehicles connectors intended to supply the electric front seats fitted to some versions are not used and are located under the rear footwell carpets. If these connectors come into contact with water of melted snow mixed with snow removal products they may corrode over a period of time and cause localised electrical overheating.
The operation involves repositioning these electrical supply wires for the two front seats to move them higher up on the seat frame.

WIPER ARM COULD DETACH
The wiper arm spindle fixings may not have been tightened sufficiently which could lead to clashing of the arms and possible detachment. Should this condition occur the wipers will not fully clear the windscreen.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to check the tightness of the windscreen wiper spindle fixings and where necessary tighten to specification.
SHORT CIRCUIT MAY OCCUR
Water entering the rear doors may enter the electric window motor causing the mechanism to malfunction. In the long-term the presence of water may cause a short circuit in the motor leading to localised heating of the door panel.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to fit additional protection on the rear electric window motors.
FIRE MAY OCCUR
Bearing damage to the fan clutch may occur due to overheating. Analyses have shown that the bearings exhibit variation in the amount of bearing play. The insufficient bearing play with bearing grease that does not correspond to the requirements can result in the ball bearing overheating whereby scorching damage as well as a fire cannot be completely ruled out.
Checking of the electromagnetic fan clutch as a precautionary measure and replacement of the ball bearing if necessary.
ENGINE MAY CUT OUT
In certain conditions (down shifting or manoeuvring with the clutch disengaged with the engine at idle) it is possible that the engine stalls.
New ECU software designed to solve the problem.
AIR BELLOWS ON THE TRAILING AXLE COULD BECOME LOOSE.
The retaining bolts for the suspension spring lower mountings on the tag axle may fail. The worst scenario is that all bolts fail leading to the loss of suspension function and security of the tag axle air suspension shock absorbers reaction rods and stabilizer bar.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to replace the retaining bolts and add spacer sleeves to the tag axle suspension airbag lower mountings.
HEADLIGHTS MAY NOT ILLUMINATE CORRECTLY
Due to the layout of the lighting switch wiring harness the low beam headlight circuit can be pulled tighter than other wires. After repeated use of the headlight switch the low beam terminal can become worn and poor electrical continuity may result from an accumulation of copper oxide. In some cases the poor continuity the poor continuity or melted terminal ends will cause the wiring harness terminal ends to melt. Poor continuity or melted terminal ends will cause the low beam head lights to become inoperative increasing the risk of accident.
The dealer will inspect the low beam terminal if the terminal shows signs of melting the lighting switch and low beam terminal harness will be replaced. If the terminal is not melted the low beam terminal harness will be replaced.
STEERING CONTROL COULD BE LOST
Corrosion of the front suspension struts may cause the steering knuckle to become detached from the front suspension strut leading to loss of directional control.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to check and where necessary replace the front suspension struts.
REAR SEAT SECURITY MAY FAIL IN AN IMPACT
Possible nonconformity of the welding between the cross rail under the floor and its end piece. This possible nonconformity may mean that the rear seats are not held correctly in place in the event of a serious impact.
Checking of the assembly and repair if necessary.
ENGINE MAY RUN ON
It is possible in certain circumstances for the engine oil level to rise above the maximum level. This situation could lead to engine speed being maintained or possibly increased after the throttle pedal is released. In extreme cases the engine could continue to run after it has been switched off.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to adjust the engine oil level and carry out a software upgrade.

WINDOW ANTI-TRAP MAY MALFUNCTION
The anti-pinch or auto reverse function of the window regulator may not work correctly to ECE R21 requirements. So it is possible to trap items including fingers and limbs between the window and its closure.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to check and if necessary replace the window regulator motor.
