ON THE INVOLVED VEHICLES, THERE IS THE POSSIBILITY THAT FUEL WETTING IN THE DRAIN PLUG AREA OF THE FUEL TANK COULD EXIST. THIS IS CAUSED BY A POSSIBLE SOLDERING INCONSISTENCY AT THE DRAIN PLUG FLANGE OF THE FUEL TANK OR AN INCONSISTENCY OF FITTING BETWEEN THE DRAIN PLUG THREADS. IF FUEL WETTING SHOULD OCCUR AT THE DRAIN PLUG AREA, A COMBUSTIBLE MIXTURE COULD RESULT.
DEALER WILL INSPECT AND REPLACE THE FUEL TANK, IF NECESSARY, AT NO COST TO OWNER.

THE INVOLVED VEHICLES CONTAIN A POTENTIALLY DEFECTIVE PRESSURE CONTROL VALVE IN THE EVAPORATIVE EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM WHICH, THROUGH EXCESS PRESSURE OVER EXTENDED PERIODS, COULD CAUSE METAL FATIGUE AND EVENTUALLY FUEL VAPORS TO BE EMITTED INTO THE ATMOSPHERE THROUGH HAIRLINE CRACKS IN THE FUEL TANK.
DEALER WILL INSPECT THE TANK AND MAKE REPLACEMENTS, IF NECESSARY. THE VALVE WILL BE REPLACED TO CORRECT THE EMISSION AND SAFETY-RELATED PROBLEMS. CERTAIN VEHICLES WILL REQUIRE INSTALLATION OF A FILLER INLET FUEL TRAP AND A FEEDER PUMP TO ELIMINATE THE POSSIBILITY OF FUEL SURGE AND VAPOR LOCK.

UNDER ADVERSE CONDITIONS OF HIGH AMBIENT TEMPERATURES, PRESSURES AND FUEL VOLATILITY, FUEL MAY SURGE WHEN THE FUEL FILLER CAP IS REMOVED IN A CERTAIN MANNER. UNDER THESE SAME CONDITIONS THE INVOLVED VEHICLES MAY DEVELOP VAPOR LOCK.
THE DEALER WILL INSTALL A BAFFLE IN THE FUEL FILLER NECK TO PREVENT FUEL SURGE AND INSTALL A NEW PRESSURE CONTROL VALVE, WHICH WILL BRING ABOUT A LOWER VENT PRESSURE. THIS WILL BE DONE AT NO COST TO OWNER.

THE INVOLVED VEHICLES ARE IN NON-COMPLIANCE WITH FEDERAL MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY STANDARD NO. 124, "ACCELERATOR CONTROL SYSTEMS". THE THROTTLE CABLE PLASTIC SLEEVE ON THESE VEHICLES, WHICH IS ATTACHED TO THE FIREWALL, COULD BREAK AT THE GROOVE FOR THE RETAINING CIRCLIP ALLOWING THE BUFFER SPRING THERE TO EXPAND AND CAUSE AN INCREASE IN ENGINE SPEED. ALSO, THE THROTTLE CABLE COULD BECOME FRAYED BY CHAFING AGAINST INCORRECTLY EXPOSED REINFORCING MATERIAL FROM THE CABLE SHEATH, AT THE ENGINE END OF THE CABLE. THE CABLE COULD THEN BECOME STUCK AT ANY ENGINE SPEED.
DEALER WILL REPLACE THE ACCELERATOR CABLE AND RETAINING BRACKET AND INSTALL NEW RETURN SPRINGS, IF NECESSARY, AT NO COST TO OWNER.

1975 Volvo 244 recall questions
NHTSA lists 9 recalls for the 1975 Volvo 244 model year. That counts campaigns naming this model year, not recalls on your vehicle: many cover only a VIN range or production window.
Enter your VIN in NHTSA's recall lookup or Volvo's own, or call a Volvo dealer with your VIN. Cardog uses your VIN only to find the model year; the recalls shown here are listed for that model year and are not matched to your VIN.
Not necessarily. Transport Canada campaigns cover vehicles sold in Canada. For a vehicle sold in the United States, go by the NHTSA listing and NHTSA's VIN lookup.
Safety recall repairs are normally done at no charge by an authorized Volvo dealer. The manufacturer's notice for each campaign sets out the remedy and any conditions, so confirm with the dealer when you book.
Once Volvo's lookup or a dealer confirms a recall applies, book the repair with an authorized Volvo dealer and bring your VIN. If the manufacturer's notice says not to drive the vehicle or to park it outside, follow that instruction. Parts can take time, so book early.
Follow the manufacturer's notice for that recall. Most allow normal driving until the repair; some tell owners to stop driving or to park outside until it is fixed. Cardog does not grade recalls by severity: the manufacturer's notice and your dealer are the source.
Manufacturers must notify owners they have on record. If you bought the vehicle used or have moved, update your details with Volvo so notices reach you, and check NHTSA's lookup from time to time.
