Other S60 Problem: VOSA recalls for S60

[Thassos]

I just found out that VOSA publish recalls on their site, so did a search to see what recalls are listed on the S60, interestingly 2 recent ones came up,

Vosa Ref R/2010/099
Description:
On effected petrol and diesel engines a spring clamp on the radiator hose connecting it to the water inlet pipe may be insecure. If not rectified the engine may lose coolant, overheat, seize and suddenly slow the vehicle rapidly to a halt

VOSA ref R/2007/058
Description:
The electric cooling fan control unit's metal cover may not have the correct corrosion protection. Should corrosion occur water may enter the control unit, causing an electrical malfunction and in extreme cases cause a fire in the engine compartment.

The Vosa site shows what seems to be serial numbers of affected vehicles, how does this relate to the cars VIN? as some are 6 digit numbers, and others are longer ?

These both show affected models as S60,XC60,V70,XC70,S80

Im not sure if the links above will work, but if not just get to their main site and do a search on Volvo plus S60 or whatever model your interested in.
