NHTSA recall 09V218000
Engine And Engine Cooling · Volvo Car USA, LLC
Details
What's wrong: 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.
Why it matters: This situation may result in loss of cooling system function and engine failure. The driver may not have sufficient time to react to the warning light(s) or the text message in the instrument panel, increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix: Dealers will replace the fan control module free of charge. The recall is expected to begin during July 2009.
