Volvo Recalls S80, V70 and XC70 for Cooling Fan Malfunction

2009 Volvo XC70

Volvo has issued a recall for 17,614 S80, V70 and XC70 vehicles produced in model years 2008 and 2009, due to a potential cooling fan problem. The cooling fans in these vehicles may stop working; this malfunction is the result of a software programming error. Possible consequences include compromised air conditioning performance, a rapid increase in engine coolant temperature and engine failure.

The fan control modules will be replaced by dealers free of charge, and the recall is expected to begin in July 2009. Owners may contact Volvo at 1-800-458-1552. They may also visit safercar.gov for more details, referencing NHSTA Campaign Number 09V218000.
