Volvo has announced that they are recalling certain models of the 2008 through 2010 S80, 2009 through 2010 XC70 and 2010 XC60 vehicles.  They stated that under certain conditions the software within the central electronic module (CEM) may not send a signal to the fuel pump electronic module (PEM).  This missing signal to the PEM inhibits the start of the fuel pump.  The driver may be able to start the engine in spite of the fuel pump not being activated due residual pressure in the fuel system.  In some cases, the driver may be able to drive the vehicle a short distance at idle but then the engine may stall.

If the vehicle stalls in certain conditions, a crash could occur.  Dealers will download software to the vehicles CEM free of charge.  The recall is expected to begin on or before September 30, 2009.  Vehicles in dealers inventory will be repaired prior to delivery.  Owners may contact Volvo at 1-800-458-1552.

Volvo has announced that they are recalling certain models of the 2008 through 2009 S80, V70, and XC70 vehicles.  They stated that the engine cooling fan may stop working due to a software programming error in the fan control module (FCM).  Depending on driving conditions, the customer may experience reduced air conditioning performance, and/or rapid increase in engine coolant temperature.

This situation may result in loss of cooling system function and engine failure.  The driver may not have sufficent time to react to the warning lights or the text message in the instrument panel, increasing the risk of a crash.  Dealers will replace the fan control module free of charge.  The recall is expected to begin during July 2009.  Owners may contact Volvo at 1-800-458-1552.
