Default Vehicle Safety/Recall Notification

Just got this thru the post today, potentially impacts all 4 cylinder diesel engines from 2014-2019 - 'RECALL NOTIFICATION' on the envelope. Anyone else seen this?

Just spoken to Volvo UK and it becomes a little more confusing. As the car is not experiencing any of symptoms then my car should be "absolutely fine to drive", but they cannot guarantee the car will not experience the symptoms in the future! So is the car really therefore fine to drive?

In the event that any of the symptoms do develop in the future I should "stop driving immediately, call Volvo Assist and the car would be recovered to (I assume) my local dealer". The dealer would then "fix the issue" .... but here's the rub because in their letter they say "Volvo Cars...is working with the appropriate authorities to prepare an action for your vehicle". Given that this fix will "be ready soon", and she couldn't put any timeframes on what she meant by 'soon', so it could be a week, or a month or 6 months, exactly what fix would the dealer be applying?

It seems as though the risk is very low but .....

Interestingly we are running a 2016 V40 r design 2.0D on the fleet at work which has recently been diagnosed with a failed inlet manifold. Wonder if this is the same issue?

Seen a few people post they have had these on Facebook, basically if car is fine keep driving if you get symptoms contact dealer ASAP.

If concerned contact Volvo uk or dealer with your vin if a U.K. supplied and registered car should just get the letter if affected.

Hi

Got my notification Saturday morning. No symptoms to date (other than a very occasional engine "rattle" (sort of ultra-diesel noise) at about 1500 rpm that lasts less than a second as I accelerate through it on a light throttle. Could be just a refinement weak-spot in an otherwise very quiet car but I do wonder. I mentioned it to a service bod but he said if I can't reproduce it for them there's nothing they can do, which seems not unreasonable. Could it be a manifold issue?

For anyone who thinks they may have a car that fits the recall notice being talked about here best thing to do is visit the Volvo website that will tell you whether or not you have a car that is affected. You will need to enter your VIN once there. Mine is clear thankfully.

Not sure airforced is right about this. My car also has "no outstanding recalls" on the Volvo site but I have had the notification letter. Thing is it's not a recall yet. But it might well be once they work out what to do.

I have had several recall works carried out and none have ever showed up on the Volvo recall page, power pulse pipe. EGR bracket, inlet hose. Although I do not think any of them were safety related.

The fact that in the original post on this thread highlighted the words RECALL NOTIFICATION suggested to me that an official recall had been activated. Why else would this be written on the envelope. This led me to look at the Volvo site I mentioned. What is also strange is that, on a further Google search, I can't find any mention of it which is unusual. I have also just looked on the GOV website and get the same negative answer when I submit my Reg No.

I don't understand what is going on but it all sounds a bit Fred Karno's to me. I suppose I shall have to wait and see but hope that someone sorts it out asap.
