Washer Bottle Recall (Inc V50, C70)
 

Front & Rear Windscreen washers may fail.

This is due to the windscreen washer motor and washer fluid pump.

Currently no information on VOSA, it may update sometime this month.

Contact your Volvo dealers to see if this affects your model.
MY2008 onwards
It is chassis model dependant and does not affect every car
Should take 1.5 hours

I understand, from the recall notice I have received, that the problem may relate to water leaking inside the washer pump unit, through the wires of the harness and into the CEM. This may cause problems, and in the worst cases lead to fire.

Manufacurer ref R39247
VOSA ref R/2011/163

thanks for these. I've had both of these done two days ago.

They did manage to break my steering colum nuts so they had to replace a few bits afterwards and keep the car over night but glad to know its fixed.

They did knock some switches I have under the steering column too which I wasn't too please about - I put them there for my stuff.

Hi,

Just wondering if the local Volvo dealer is supposed to perform these fixes for FREE given a 4yrs+ old car?

Yes,

If it is a recall then the manufacturer has authorised the fix for all the cars affected no matter what age/mileage they are.

As said above, thanks

V50 Recall
 

My V50 is going in for the "leakage" recall. Booked in for 4th April. They say it only takes an hour, so we'll see!!!!

recall can be easilly done in 20 mins but then you have vhc to do wich takes another 15mins book time for recall is .8jvs

Chassis Number
 

Probably a stupid question but is the 'chassis number' the ONLY LAST SIX digits of the VIN?
previous cars have been so old they only had six digits !! :-)

Yes the chassis number is only last 6 as you say, the rest of the VIN are to do with engine/trim/made (location) etc..

:star-wars-smiley-01

Mines in today for the washer pump recall... also getting them to look at why stop/start is intermittent and the click from steering rack (maybe?).

Foglight software install too which is stinging the wallet.

Gave me a nice 12 plate D3 R Design as a courtesy car which is a howl!

Recall here in Germany for ALL D2s!

Reason: the right hand drive shaft can snap/break and the car will be limited in it's traction capabilities.

Here the owners will be contacted by Volvo. As the drive shafts are the same as in Britain, it will probably be forwarded to you too :)

Contact your dealers to find out if you are affected by this recall! :)

Thanks forthe heads up

Is there any news on this one yet?

Hi, if like me you own the car second hand, do I still qualify to have the recall work done for free through Volvo? My thinking is yes?

Same here. Would I qualify as a second hand owner?

Recalls are not owner or mileage dependant. If a recall is issued it is for EVERYONE. So yes you would qualify.

:star-wars-smiley-01

What a disappointment!
Went there and was told that everything had been done for the first owner already...
So I have some time spared to spend on cleaning the leather seats :thumbs_up:

:lol:

Always worth a check, you could have saved the journey and just called your local dealer to find out.

:star-wars-smiley-01

That's OK as I have never been there I just wanted to check them out ;)

Apparently NO recalls for my car?
 

Rang my local Volvo dealership to request recall information on my Volvo C30 57 plate SE Sport 2.0D...

She said there were Zero recalls for my model..

I've just counted 18 from Jan07 to Present...

Is this true?

I can only assume she meant there are zero recalls outstanding on your car??

c30 (2007)
 

Any recalls ref Alternator catching fire

Not that I'm aware of off the top of my head but these cars are usually extremely good at letting you know long in advance with a message on the dash saying 'Power System Service Required' which indicates your alternator is failing.

Just ensure you replace it with the correct type (120A for a 120A or 150Afor a 150A). It is actually advisable if you currently had a 120A to change it with a 150A but be aware the car should be given a software update (from Volvo) to tell it of the change.

latest recall on my 12 c30,s40,v50 is clutch pedal recall renewing from plastic rod to metal rod in master cylinder

Guys do I have to search through and find every recall that could affect my car? Or can I just ring the dealership and ask them?

Are they obligated to carry out the work? And for completely free of charge? Apologies for what may come as very basic questions but I have never dealt with a recall before or indeed know if mine has had or missed any.

Yes it is easiest to just phone the dealer and they are obligated to do the work and for free.

Thanks, I did in the end. Turns out mine has had all recalls done. Or at least according to their database...

just hours after picking up my girlfriend's C30 D5, the dreaded "Engine System Service" warning 019 came on. I did worry a little!

thanks to those who have contributed on here, my research shows (a) there is a service reset sequence (but doesn't work for this error code), and (b) it is overfill of the oil causing the error.

a quick call to my local Volvo dealer and they confirmed that all recalls (washer pump & oil level) have been done, so I guess the criss-cross marks on the dipstick are the new levels to stick with.

they also confirmed the service schedule of the car, and that the last Volvo service was as stamped in the book, and it is only due a minor service (although £240 seems a bit steep for oil, oil filter, cabin filter change and s/w upgrade) - anybody any experience with whether it is worth sticking with Volvo main network, or a better value independent specialist?

Pete

Quick Update per above. about a week of running after drawing the oil out, the light finally went out.

does anybody know if the recall brought a new dipstick into play? i.e. do we still go with the 2/3 to 3/4 up the dipstick rule, or has a new dipstick with a lower full line been put in place at the recall?

Pete

t5 oil housing
 

Hi all just bought another volvo this time c30 t5 and as usually there was few bits i haven't checked etc one cam belt was over due by 16k miles and second my mechanic just called and while he is doing cam belt it looks like oil housing needs changing aswell. was there a recall for that?

He just called me to say its not noisy or anything but oil is everywhere any suggestions?

Or go on MOT website and you can check both MOT history and outstanding recalls against your registration number.

Hi efcblue,

Good choice on the C30 with the D5 you have a great combo, the oil level on the original dipstick should be max 3x ,s from the top i dont think there was ever a new dipstick with a lower top level but worth remembering if you top it up with oil (which you shouldn't need to much if its like my D5), theremwas also a software update to do with regen of the Dpf around 2010 so incase its never had this would be worth hooking it up to vida - re servicing the pollen filter is a pig of a job from memory think you need to remove the glove box to get at it on the C30, so might explain the service cost as prob the majority of time probably messing with the pollen filter 😀

VOSA website has now closed down, new link is https://www.gov.uk/check-vehicle-recall well it's now part of the MOT checker https://www.check-mot.service.gov.uk/

Edit:- Oops didn't see that it had already been posted, ignore me I'll go away now

Volvo C30 ‘59 SE D Auto
 

Hello,

Recently the side light on my Volvo c30 (59 SE D Auto) has gone out. I have replaced the bulb - but there is still no illumination. I’m hoping that the problem is due to a blown fuse however I cannot find the fuse location. I have checked the fuse compartment under the bonnet and under the glovebox. Some forums mention there is a smaller fuse box under the steering wheel, but this is for older and different car models, does anyone know if the same applies for the Volvo C30? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Regards Nzo

Can I still get this recall
 

Can this still be done my c30 r design has this problem it’s a 2010 reg
