Default New about a possible recall

A friend has forwarded this link to a news about recall

http://www.thecarconnection.com/news...icles-affected

Both XC90 and S90, could be impacted.

Not sure if it specific to the USA market,

I just did a check on VOSA.
Put in Jan 2016 - Sept 2016 for the XC90 and there are no recalls.

As they are all built in the same place they should all be affected...

Agreed. If I don't get a recall notice I'll want to know why.

Manufacturers are much quicker/more likely to issue recall notices in the US because of the litigation culture and prevalence of class action law suits.

All depends on the path of the drain pipe.
US market is LHD and pipe may take a different route on RHD vehicles.
Time will tell.

I've had this problem
All sorts of random warnings, most frequent was 'Volvo on Call Service Required'
Car ended up at dealers for over a week
It is a common problem so I would get your vehicles checked asap !!

I have just this minute, spoken to my dealer and this recall does affect UK 2016 XC90s!!
He says it is an URGENT recall! ,and has booked me in for next Tuesday. Apparently the information came to them yesterday and the DVLA website does not have it yet..

I wonder if recent factory builds are okay (seeing as my new car is arriving next week).

I'll ask the dealer.
