• 12/21/2009· ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING

  FUEL PRESSURE SENSOR MIS-COMMUNICATES TO THE ECM ABOUT THE FUEL PRESSURE, AND SO THE ECM GIVES A MIS-COMMUNICATION TO THE FUEL PUMP HOW MUCH PRESSURE TO EXERT. ACCORDING TONHTSA RECALL 07V22600 FOR VOLVO V70 2003-2004, "MISFIRE MAY OCCUR DURING DRIVING ... THE ENGINE MAY STALL WITHOUT WARNING;IN CERTAIN TRAFFIC SITUATIONS THIS COULD CAUSE AN UNSAFE SITUATION AND POSSIBLE A CRASH." THE VOLVO DEALER READ THE NHTSA RECALL NOTICE AND SAID THAT THE CUSTOMER WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR ELECTIVE REPAIR FOR REASON THAT THIS "VIN DOES NOT POP UP." THE VOLVO MANUFACTURER (800/458-1552) SAID THAT THE "VIN DOES NOT POP UP; THERE IS NO RECALL FOR THIS VEHICLE." I AM REQUESTING NHTSA TO ADD THIS VIN TO RECALL 07V226000, THEN NOTIFY ME THAT IT HAD DONE SO. *TR

• 12/19/2015· FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM

  I HAVE HAD TWO VOLVO V70 STATION WAGONS. BOTH OF THEM HAVE EXHIBITED THE FOLLOWING- WHEN FILLING AT CERTAIN GAS STATIONS (SUNOCO MOST RECENTLY) THE GAS PUMP WILL NOT SHUT OFF AUTOMATICALLY BEFORE FUEL COMES POURING OUT OF THE FILLER. I BELIEVE IT IS A FUEL FILLER PROBLEM IN THE CAR, NOT IN THE PUMP, BECAUSE I DO NOT HAVE THIS PROBLEM WITH ANY OF OUR OTHER CARS. I BELIEVE IT IS EITHER AN ISSUE OF THE CAR'S FUEL FILLER TUBE SHAPE, OR DIMENSIONS. DANGEROUS! APPROX 1 FULL CUP OF GAS.

  I have recevievide from Volvo called the number and said they cannot say it was free.I called the number 1 800 458 1552 said could promise I had to talk to the manager at the dealer. I asked them if found other problems with steering that I would have to pay if they tear into steering comlun. You guys need to fix this now. I want to make sure Im cover here . EWhat am suppose to do if they break my steering down and ask me to pay for other problmems with the car it doesnot state that on the recall letter. What kind of airbag do they put in to the car I ant to its preminum airbags that are put in high in vehicles here. I want to know if I get protected documentation from this recall. Also do I get the old airbag back so i can seek legal consel as well. It just says free it should state that im protected from labor and parts costs as well.

• 12/16/2009· ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING

  APPROXIMATELY TWO MONTHS AGO, MY CAR BEGAN SHUDDERING AND BUCKING IN A RANDOM FASHION, AND GETTING NO POWER TO THE ACCELERATOR. I CONTACTED MY MECHANIC, AND SINCE IT COULDN'T BE DUPLICATED AND AT THAT TIME THERE WAS NO "CHECK ENGINE" LIGHT ON, THERE WAS NOTHING THAT HE COULD CHECK. THIS CONTINUED WITH VARYING DEGREES OF INTENSITY UNTIL LAST EVENING(12/15/09) AT APPROXIMATELY 6:00 PM. AS I WAS MERGING ONTO THE HIGHWAY, THE CAR BEGAN SHUDDERING INTENSELY. I DOWN SHIFTED AND IT CONTINUED. WITHOUT WARNING(AND WHILE HAVING FULLY MERGED AND REACHING THE HIGHWAY SPEED OF 65 MPH), THE CAR DIED. I WAS ABLE TO PULL TO THE SHOULDER WITHOUT INCIDENT. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND REMAINED ON WHEN I RESTARTED THE ENGINE. IT AGAIN DIED WITHIN A FEW FEET. AFTER A THIRD ATTEMPT, I WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE CAR AND EXIT THE HIGHWAY AND RETURN HOME. IN RESEARCHING THE POSSIBLE CAUSE, I CAME ACROSS THE DESCRIPTION OF THE FOLLOWING NHTSA RECALL ON CERTAIN '03-'04 MODELS(07V226000). MY DEALERSHIP INFORMED ME ON THE FOLLOWING DAY THAT THE ISSUE WITH THE CAR WAS INDEED THE FUEL PRESSURE SENSOR, AND THAT MY CAR WAS NOT PART OF THE RECALL. I KNOW FROM OTHER V70R OWNERS THAT THEY TOO HAVE HAD THE SAME ISSUE, AND THAT VOLVO USA IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM. I WOULD LIKE FOR AN INVESTIGATION INTO THE RECALL BE EXPANDED TO MORE OF THE VINS THAT WERE PRODUCED IN '03-'04. HAD I NOT BEEN ABLE TO PULL OVER TO THE SHOULDER IMMEDIATELY(I WAS IN THE RIGHT HAND LANE), I COULD HAVE BEEN IN A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. THE HIGHWAY IN QUESTION IS A 3 LANE HIGHWAY THAT WAS QUITE BUSY AND IT WAS FULLY DARK AT THE TIME THAT THE ENGINE FAILED. *TR

• 11/30/2018· SEATS

  I WAS AT OUR AUTOMOTIVE SHOP AND HAD TO GIVE A CUSTOMER A RIDE TO WORK. I HAD THE SEAT WARMERS ON BECAUSE IT WAS COLD OUTSIDE. ABOUT A MINUTE INTO THE DRIVE, I FEEL A BURNING SENSATION ON MY LEFT OUTER THIGH. I THOUGHT NOTHING OF IT. THE BURNING SENSATION GOT WORSE, I STATED, "SOMETHING'S BURNING ME!" THE CUSTOMER STATES SHE SMELLS SOMETHING BURNING, LIKE WIRES. I PULL OVER, HOP OUT OF THE CAR TO NOTICE A BURN HOLE IN MY SEAT. LUCKILY, I DID NOT GET SEVERELY BURNT, HOWEVER, MY THIGH WAS SORE FOR ABOUT 4 HOURS. AFTER THIS HAPPENED, I WENT ONLINE TO SEE IF THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE SEAT. THERE WAS NOT. AFTER GOOGLING THIS SITUATION, I FOUND THAT MY 04 VOLVO V70 WASN'T THE ONLY VEHICLE THAT HAS HAD THIS ISSUE. MANY, MANY PEOPLE WITH THE SAME YEAR, MAKE, AND MODEL HAVE HAD THIS SAME ISSUE.

  DRIVING HOME FROM DETROIT TO INDIANAPOLIS ON HIGHWAY... CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, THEN WENT OUT A LITTLE FURTHER DOWN THE ROAD... LATER CAME ON AGAIN... ENGINE WAS RUNNING FINE... THEN SUDDEN POWER LOSS....ENGINE COMPLETELY STOPPED... COASTED TO SIDE OF HIGHWAY WITH NO POWER STEERING OR POWER BRAKES... RESTARTED ENGINE... ENGINE RAN WELL ENOUGH TO GET ME TO NEXT EXIT BEFORE LOSING POWER AGAIN... THIS TIME IT WOULDN'T RUN WELL ENOUGH TO DRIVE IT AFTER RESTARTING.... AFTER EXPENSIVE TRIP TO DEALER FOR REPAIR, FOUND OUT ISSUE WAS A FUEL PRESSURE SENSOR THAT FAILED... THIS IS KIND OF LIKE HAVING YOUR CAR LOSE POWER AND STOP RUNNING BECAUSE YOUR COOLANT TEMPERATURE GAUGE FAILED... ENGINE CONTROL MODULE SHOULD NOT SHUT CAR OFF IN RESPONSE TO THIS FUEL PRESSURE SENSOR FAIL... THIS GAUGE IS USED TO OPTIMIZE FUEL CONSUMPTION... IT'S NOT A PRESSURE REGULATOR...

  OUR 2004 VOLVO V70 ENGINE CUT OFF WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY. AT THE TIME, WE WERE TRAVELING AT APPROXIMATELY 45 MILES PER HOUR. LUCKILY THERE WAS A SIDE ROAD NEARBY SO WE WERE ABLE TO COAST, STOP, AND RESTART THE CAR SAFELY. SINCE THAT DAY, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT HAS BEEN COMING ON AND THEN GOING OFF AND THE ENGINE HAS SHUT DOWN WHILE DRIVING ON SEVERAL OTHER OCCASSIONS. WE TOOK THE CAR TO VOLVO AND THEY CLAIMED THERE WERE NOT ANY RECALLS ON OUR 2004 VOLVO V70 AND PERFORMED A $65 DIAGONSTIC SERVICE AND DETERMINED THAT OUR FUEL PRESSURE SENSOR HAD FAILED AND NEED TO BE REPLACED AT A COST OF OVER $400. WE PULLED RECALL INFORMATION FOR OUR CAR OFF MOTORTREND'S SITED (SEE BELOW) AND FORWARDED THIS TO THE DEALERSHIP. THE DEALERSHIP CALLED VOLVO'S CUSTOMER SUPPORT TEAM AND THEY SAID OUR CAR WAS OUTSIDE THE WARRANTY PERIOD AND HAD NO RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE. WE COUNTERED THAT RECALLS ARE NOT WARRANTY CLAIMS AND FALL OUTSIDE THAT WINDOW. OUR CAR HAS EXPERIENCED THE SAME ISSUE LISTED IN RECALL LISTED BELOW AND THE REPAIR AND DIAGNOSTIC TEST SHOULD BE HONORED BY VOLVO!! RECALL DATE JUN 05, 2007 CONSEQUENCES: MISFIRE MAY OCCUR DURING DRIVING THAT, IN TURN, WILL REDUCE THE ENGINE TORQUE AND IN THE WORST CASE SCENARIO, THE ENGINE MAY STALL WITHOUT WARNING. IN CERTAIN TRAFFIC SITUATIONS THIS COULD CAUSE AN UNSAFE SITUATION AND POSSIBLY A CRASH. REMEDY: DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE FUEL PRESSURE SENSOR FREE OF CHARGE. THE RECALL BEGAN ON JUNE 29, 2007.

• 09/24/2012· ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

  PULLED INTO A PARKING SPOT ON THE STREET, PUT THE CAR IN PARK, BUT WAS UNABLE TO TURN THE KEY TO TURN THE CAR OFF. IT TOOK ME ALMOST 20 MINUTES OF JIGGLING THE KEY AROUND AND SPRAYING WD40 INTO THE IGNITION CYLINDER BEFORE BEING ABLE TO VERY SLOWLY GET THE KEY TO TURN ENOUGH TO TURN THE CAR OFF. I AM NOT A WEAK PERSON AND WAS HONESTLY AFRAID THAT THE AMOUNT OF PRESSURE I WAS APPLYING WAS GOING TO CAUSE THE KEY TO BREAK OFF IN THE IGNITION. I IMMEDIATELY TOOK THE CAR TO THE NEAREST VOLVO DEALER (CHERRY HILL, NJ) AND SINCE THIS HAPPENED ON A SUNDAY MORNING, I HAD TO LEAVE THE KEYS WITH AN EXPLANATION OF THE PROBLEM ON A DROPBOX FORM. WHEN I CALLED THE SERVICE DEPT TODAY, THEY TOLD ME THAT THEY WOULD HAVE TO CUSTOM ORDER A REPLACEMENT PART FROM SWEDEN AND THAT IT COULD BE A WEEK BEFORE MY CAR IS REPAIRED. THE SERVICE PERSON SAID THAT THIS SOMETIMES HAPPENS WHEN PEOPLE ATTACH A LARGE AMOUNT OF KEYS TO THEIR CAR KEY AND IT CAUSES STRESS ON THE IGNITION CYLINDER. I HAVE NEVER, EVER DONE THAT. I ALWAYS KEEP MY CAR AND HOUSE KEYS SEPARATE FOR SAFETY PURPOSES, SO THERE IS NO REASON THIS SHOULD HAVE HAPPENED. AFTER LOOKING FOR MORE INFO ON THE INTERNET, IT APPEARS AS THOUGH THIS HAPPENS ON A FAIRLY REGULAR BASIS WITH OTHER OWNERS. I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER OF THIS CAR AND AM RELIGIOUS ABOUT KEEPING IT IN GOOD RUNNING ORDER WITH ROUTINE, SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE. FAILURE TO BE ABLE TO SHUT A CAR OFF WITHOUT ANY PRIOR WARNING SHOULD CERTAINLY BE CONSIDERED A SAFETY ISSUE. THANKS. *TR

• 09/21/2015· FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM

  ENTERING MY VEHICLE I SMELLED A STRONG ODOR OF GASOLINE. UPON INVESTIGATION, I FOUND THIS WAS DUE TO A CRACKED FUEL PUMP. BECAUSE OF THIS VERY PROBLEM, THIS MAKE AND MODEL OF VEHICLE WAS OFFICIALLY RECALLED BY VOLVO IN 2009 AS PART OF NHTSA ACTION NUMBER : PE09039 NHTSA RECALL CAMPAIGN NUMBER : 09V483000 . HOWEVER THE RECALL ONLY APPLIES TO VEHICLES SOLD IN AL, AZ, AR, CA, FL, GA, HI, KY, LA, MS, NV, NM, NC, OK, SC, TN, TX, UT, VA AND THE US TERRITORIES. THE PROBLEM CAN HAPPEN TO ANY OF THESE CARS REGARDLESS OF WHERE THEY WERE SOLD. THE TEMPERATURE FLUCTUATIONS THAT MAY BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE SAFETY HAZARD OCCUR IN NEW ENGLAND AS WELL AS THE SOUTH AND WEST. THE DEFECTIVE PART AND SAFETY ISSUE EXISTS FOR ALL OWNERS OF THESE CARS AND EVERY ONE OF THEM SHOULD BE RECALLED.

• 09/21/2009· ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING

  THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON OUR 2004 VOLVO V70 WAGON CAME ON WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY. THE VEHICLE THEN MADE NOTICEABLE HESITATIONS BUT THE VEHICLE CONTINUED TO BE DRIVABLE. AFTER GETTING TO ATLANTA AND TAKING THE CAR TO A VOLVO DEALERSHIP, THE FAULT CODE SAID THE PROBLEM WAS WITH THE FUEL SENSOR. INTERESTINGLY THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE 2004 VOLVO V70 RECALL #07V226000 FOR THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM. I CALLED VOLVO AND THEY SAY IT IS NOT COVERED AS THE PROBLEM WAS ONLY FOR VIN'S 286155 - 404037. VOLVO DECLINED TO COVER THE PROBLEM. THE RECALL CLEARLY STATES THAT THE FUEL SENSOR PROBLEM CAN CAUSE THE VEHICLE TO STALL AND IT IS A DANGEROUS PROBLEM IN MY OPINION. IN OUR CASE WE ARE LUCKILY THE PROBLEM DID NOT CAUSE THE VEHICLE TO STALL COMPLETELY ON THE HIGHWAY. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THAT YOU LOOK INTO THIS ISSUE ON THE 2004 V70 VOLVO'S AFTER THE VIN RANGE AS THE PROBLEM APPEARS NOT TO HAVE BEEN RESOLVED ON ALL VEHICLES EXHIBITING THIS DANGEROUS PROBLEM. *TR

• 09/15/2005· SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC

  IN THE SUMMER OF 2004 I THOUGHT I FELT MY BRAKES FREEZE UP, BUT JUST THOUGHT IT WAS ME, THINKING "I'M IN A YEAR OLD VOLVO, THERE'S NO WAY THAT COULD HAVE HAPPENED." A FEW MONTHS LATER IT DID HAPPEN AND I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE THEY REPLACED THE MASTER CYLINDER. THAT WAS 11/19/04. ON 2/28/05 I RETURNED THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP AGAIN FOR THE SAME PROBLEM. THIS TIME THEY REPLACED THE MASTER CYLINDER AND BOOSTER. THEN, THE END OF APRIL I WAS GETTING ON THE HIGHWAY GOING ABOUT 50 MPH, AND HAD TO APPLY MY BRAKES, AND THEY FROZE UP AND I GLIDED FOR A FEW SECONDS BEFORE THEY RELEASED AND I WAS ABLE TO PUSH DOWN ON THEM (THIS IS WHAT HAPPENED THE OTHER TIMES.). VOLVO AGAIN REPLACED THE MATER CYLINDER AND BOOSTER (AND THEY TOLD ME THEY REPLACED ANOTHER PART THAT HAD TO DO WITH THE PUMPING MECHANISM (?) "JUST IN CASE." THE CAR MADE IT 4 1/2 MONTHS BEFORE IT HAPPENED AGAIN. I WAS GETTING ONTO A HIGHWAY 9/9/05, GOING ABOUT 60-70 MPH, WHEN THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME APPLIED HIS BRAKES. I APPLIED MINE, AND FOR A SPLIT SECOND THEY FROZE. I ACCELERATED AGAIN ALMOST IMMEDIATELY AND THEN HAD TO SLOW AGAIN. THIS TIME THE BRAKES FROZE FOR ABOUT 3-4 SECONDS BEFORE THEY RELEASED AND I WAS ABLE TO SLOW DOWN. IT IS IN THE SHOP NOW AND VOLVO ASSURES ME THAT THIS HASN'T HAPPENED IN A NEW CAR BEFORE. MY QUESTION IS: CAN THEY RECALL SOMETHING THEY CAN'T EVEN FIX??? *NM

  ON A RECENT RAINY AFTERNOON I STALLED OUT IN THE MIDDLE OF A VERY BUSY INTERSECTION IN MY 2004 V70, SUBJECTING MYSELF AND MY FAMILY TO A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION. I WAS ABLE TO RESTART MY CAR, AND AFTER SEVERAL MORE STALL OUTS AND RESTARTS I WAS ABLE TO LIMP TO A NEARBY PARKING LOT WHERE I CALLED MY REPAIR SHOP TO HAVE MY CAR TOWED IN FOR REPAIR. MY MECHANIC DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM AS A FAULTY FUEL PRESSURE SENSOR, ORDERED THE PART FROM THE LOCAL VOLVO DEALER AND REPAIRED MY CAR; THE TOTAL BILL, INCLUDING TOWING WAS $615. LATER THAT WEEK, MY HUSBAND LOOKED UP VEHICLE RECALLS ON THE NHTSA WEBSITE AND FOUND RECALL #R181 WHICH EXACTLY DESCRIBED MY SITUATION. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHY I WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THIS RECALL BEFORE MY CAR STALLED AND PUT ME AND MY FAMILY AT GREAT RISK. *TR

  WHEN WE FIRST PURCHASED THE CAR WE DROVE IT FOR ABOUT A WEEK BEFORE IT STARTED SURGING FORWARD AND STALLING A LOT. MY FIANC AND I WOULD HAVE TO PULL OVER, PARK THE CAR, HAVE TO TURN THE KEY THREE TIMES BEFORE STARTING. WOULD HAVE TO REPEAT PROCESS EVERY 5 MINUTES. SO WE TOOK IT TO PARAMOUNT VOLVO OF HICKORY, ENDED UP TAKING IT THERE FOR SERVICE. DROPPED IT OFF WITH A MAX FULL TANK OF GAS AS WELL, ALONG WITH PERSONAL ITEMS WE LEFT IN THE CAR. IT TAKES THEN ABOUT 4 OR 5 DAYS BEFORE CALLING US BACK WITH DIAGNOSTICS, SO WE END UP PAYING ALMOST 1,600$ TO GET THE TIMING CHAIN REPLACED, NEW HOSES PUT ON, FUEL PUMP REPLACEMENT, AND THE FUEL INJECTORS. WE PICK IT UP, AND OUR GAS IS ALMOST ON EMPTY....AND A FEW ITEMS WERE MISSING OUT OF OUR VEHICLE AS WELL. I KNOW THEY HAVE TO TEST DRIVE IT AFTER SERVICING THE VEHICLE, IT SEEMED LIKE THEY TOOK IT ON A JOY RIDE ALL OVER HICKORY. BUT WE DECIDED NOT TO MENTION THAT, AND TOOK IT AS A COMPLIMENT OF THEM "LIKING" THE CAR. AT LEAST WE HAD IT FIXED WE THOUGHT, THEN DROVE 45 MINUTES UP THE MOUNTAIN HOME. DROVE FOR ABOUT A DAY OR TWO UNTIL "CHECK ENGINE" LIGHT CAME BACK ON, SO WE CALLED VOLVO BACK. THAT TIME WE ENDED UP GETTING THE FUEL PUMP REPLACED ON A "RECALLED PART". AGAIN IT DRIVE FINE AFTER PICKING IT BACK UP 2ND TIME THEN STARTED ACTING UP AGAIN, BROUGHT IT BACK AND THEY FIXED THE TIMING ON IT. PICKED IT UP, WEEK OR TWO LATER WE SET UP A NEW APPOINTMENT BECAUSE THE CAR IS SURGING, RPMS WON'T GO OVER 2000, KICKS OUT AND IN GEAR, RPM GAUGE FLUCTUATES WHEN STOPPED. MY 4 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER AND I WERE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY YESTERDAY AND IT STARTED SURGING, THE STEERING SEEMED ALOT LOOSER, THEN IT STARTED SHAKING AROUND A CURVE PRETTY BAD, GOT SCARED AND BRAKED, STEERING WOULDN'T TURN , KEPT GOING STRAIGHT, RAN INTO THE GRASS ,THANK GOD.

  ENGINE STOPPED ON FREEWAY, IN HEAVY TRAFFIC. WIFE AND CHILDREN IN THE CAR. EXACT DESCRIPTION AS IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN I.D. 07V226000. DEALER (CARLSEN VOLVO, PALO ALTO, CA), CLAIMED THE CAR HAD NO INDICATION OF RECALLS ON THEIR COMPUTER, BUT VOLVO RECALL CAMPAIGN R181 CLEARLY STATES MY VEHICLE AND SPECIFIC ENGINE # 61 (6TH AND 7TH DIGITS IN VIN) WERE SUBJECT OF RECALL FOR THE SPECIFIC SYMPTOMS INVOLVED. I CALLED VOLVO U.S. AND THEY GAVE ME THE SAME ROTE RESPONSE, "YOUR VEHICLE'S VIN NUMBER DOESN'T SHOW UP AS BEING INCLUDED IN R181". THIS IS PATENTLY FALSE. ACCORDING TO THE RECALL, CARLSEN VOLVO SHOULD HAVE REPLACED THE FUEL PRESSURE SENSOR FREE. INSTEAD, OVER THE COURSE OF 2YEARS AND MULTIPLE VISITS TO THE DEALER, THEY NEVER PROPERLY DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED THE PROBLEM. WHEN YOUR ENGINE STALLS IN HEAVY TRAFFIC AT FREEWAY SPEEDS, YOU AND YOUR PASSENGERS ARE AT SEVERE RISK! I WANT MY FREE REPAIR FROM VOLVO!

  CAR WAS DAMAGED GOING OVER A SPEED BUMP (ON PUBLIC RD) AT ABOUT 5 MPH. THERE IS A RECALL IN EUROPE TO FIX THIS PROBLEM (BY REMOVING A BRACKET THAT PRODUCED BELOW THE CARD AND CAN BE FORCED UPWARDS DAMAGING THE EXHAUST AND DRIVESHAFT. THE RECALL HAS NOT BEEN MADE IN USA PLEASE SEE THIS WEBLINK (THAT HAS A COPY OF THE EUROPEAN RECALL NOTICE) HTTP://WWW.SWEDEDEMON.COM/PHPBB2/VIEWTOPIC.PHP?T=385&HIGHLIGHT=P+N+30647428 I HAVE COPIED SOME TEXT FROM THE RECALL BELOW (IT HAS PICTURES ON THE SITE WHICH EXPLAINS THE SITUATION WELL) ISSUED FOR R VEHICLES BUT GOES FOR ALL P2X AWD MODELS. DATED JANUARY 2004. DESCRIPTION, THERE HAVE BEEN REPORTS ABOUT THE FACT THAT S60R AND V70R VEHICLES CAN BE DAMAGED AT THE UNDER SIDE OF THE VEHICLE WHEN DRIVING OVER SPEED BUMPS. THIS IS CAUSED BY A BRACKET (P/N 30647428) (SEE ATTACHMENT) WHICH IS MOUNTED UNDER THE VEHICLE. THE BRACKET IS ONLY USED FOR PRODUCTION PURPOSE TO KEEP THE EXHAUST SYSTEM IN PLACE AND SERVES NO OTHER FUNCTION. BECAUSE OF THE LOWER RIDE HEIGHT OF THE R VEHICLES THE BRACKET CAN TOUCH THE GROUND IN EXTREME SITUATIONS. WHEN THE BRACKET TOUCHES THE GROUND IT CAN BEND (SEE ATTACHMENT IMAGE) AND SUBSEQUENTLY DAMAGE THE EXHAUST SYSTEM AND THE DRIVE SHAFT (CARDAN). PRODUCT CHANGES, INVESTIGATING IF PRODUCT CAN BE CHANGED IN PRODUCTION. PART RETURN, NO TECHNICAL REPORT, NO SERVICE, VOLVO ADVISES TO REMOVE THE BRACKET WHEN PRESENT ON R VEHICLES DURING SERVICE. THIS TO PREVENT FUTURE DAMAGE. REMARK, THESE BRACKETS ARE PRESENT UNDER ALL P2X AWD VEHICLES. IF THERE IS A CONCERN FOR PROBLEMS THE BRACKET CAN BE REMOVED WITHOUT CONSEQUENCES. *JB
