Details

What's wrong: On certain sport utility vehicles, the front wheel speed sensors may be defective, causing an erroneous wheel speed signal.

Why it matters: This can adversely affect a number of vehicle functions, including brake, engine, transmission, and torque distribution control which rely on this signal for proper operation.

The fix: Dealers will replace the front wheel sensors. Owner notification began on December 8, 2003. Owners should contact Volvo cars at 1-800-458-1552.
