Volvo C70 Recalls
Summary
On certain vehicles, there is a possibility of overheating issues of batteries in the Garmin nüvi® 760 when certain batteries manufactured within a limited date code range are used in certain Garmin nüvi® 760 models with a specific printed circuit board (PCB) design. The interaction of these factors can, in some circumstances, increase the possibility of overheating, which may lead to a fire. Correction: Dealers will direct customers who have an affected unit to the Garmin Web site, which explains how to verify if their units are involved and includes procedures to follow for product exchange.
Summary
On certain vehicles, an improperly manufactured power steering return hose may suddenly rupture, causing a fluid leak. An unexpected loss of steering power assist may result in a vehicle crash. Correction: Dealers will inspect and, if necessary, replace the power steering return line assembly.
Summary
On certain vehicles, rubber seals inside the brake master cylinder assembly may suffer premature wear, causing internal fluid leakage. This could result in reduced braking performance, that may gradually deteriorate over time. Eventually, this could cause a complete loss of brake functionality, increasing the risk of a crash with property damage, and/or personal injury or death. Correction: Dealers will inspect and, if necessary, replace the brake master cylinder and fluid reservoir.
Summary
On certain vehicles, the Bowden cable, which connects the door handle to the door latch, may have been incorrectly adjusted during vehicle assembly. This adjustment may increase the possibility of the driver door becoming unlatched in the event of a side impact collision, which could cause an unbelted driver to be ejected, increasing the risk of injuries or death. Correction: Dealers will adjust the left door Bowden cable.
Summary
On certain vehicles, a combination of throttle position sensor (TPS) irregularities, a dirty throttle housing, and/or inefficient software calibration, may cause a warning lamp to illuminate and the subsequent onset of "limp home" mode. Correction: Dealers will install an electronic throttle system software upgrade in both the electronic throttle module (ETM) and the engine control module (ECM).
Summary
Certain vehicles do not comply with the requirements of CMVSS 110. Incorrect Tire and Loading Information labels were installed during vehicle assembly. The labels indicate that 3 backseat occupants are allowed while the vehicle is only designed for 2. Correction: Owners will be provided with labels and installation instructions.
Summary
On certain vehicles, the Master Light Switch may cease to function. If this occurs, the headlights will not function and a loss of visibility will occur, increasing the risk of a vehicle crash. Correction: Dealers will replace the Master Light Switch.
Summary
Certain vehicles do not comply with CMVSS 210.2. The symbol indicating the presence of a lower universal anchorage system, and a reproduction of this symbol were omitted from the owner's manual. Correction: The corrected owner's manual page will be mailed to owners.
Summary
On certain Volvo C70, C70 convertible, C70 coupe, S70 and V70, inadequate contact between the bulb and socket could cause the front turn signal not to function as designed. This would fail to warn an approaching driver that the vehicle is turning and could lead to a crash. Correction: Dealers will replace the left and right front turn signal bulb and socket.
Summary
On certain Volvo C70 coupe, the GVWR is missing from the statement of compliance label. Correction: Dealers will install an new label.
