MAY 2008 --
Volvo is recalling 102 MY 2008 XC90 and S80
vehicles equipped with V8 engines. These
vehicles may have been built with incorrect
bolts to the engine mount. The aluminum
bracket for the engine mount could break due
to lack of adequate clamping force. This
could cause the engine to come in contact
with the sub-frame, ultimately resulting in
a reduced engine torque or stalling of the
engine without prior warning, increasing the
risk of a crash. Dealers will inspect the
engine mount bolts for specific markings. If
any of the bolts contain the incorrect
markings, the bracket and bolts will be
replaced. All owners have been contacted and
arrangements have been made to repair these
vehicles. 08V206
DECEMBER -- Volvo is
recalling 37,000 MY 2007-2008 XC90 sport
utility vehicles. Under certain conditions,
the climate control module (CCM) may receive
a 'shut-down signal' from the engine control
module (ECM) after ignition key insertion.
If this condition occurs, the climate
control functions will not be available
(including the defroster) during that
driving cycle. Inoperative defrosters under
inclement weather conditions could cause
impaired visibility which has the potential
to result in personal injury and/or vehicle
and property damage. The ECM software will
be upgraded. The manufacturer has not yet
provided an owner notification schedule for
this campaign. 07V-563
