Volvo Cars N.A. recently announced a recall of several model year 2016 vehicles due to a starter motor fuse issue.
Which Volvo models are affected by the recall?
Model year 2016 S60, V60, V60CC, XC60, XC70 and S80 vehicles with front wheel drive equipped with four-cylinder Drive-E engines, manufactured between April 8, 2015 and August 19, 2015.
What causes the starter motor fuse issue?
Blown fuses may prevent the engine’s fuel-saving stop/start function from restarting, which in certain driving conditions may increase the risk of a crash if the vehicle cannot start while stopped at an intersection.
Are there any known accidents attributed to the defect?
At this time, Volvo is not aware of any accidents or injuries due to the related problems.
What do I do if my Volvo is one of those affected?
Volvo will be notifying all owners affected by the recall October 12, 2015. Volvo will replace the starter motor fuse with a higher amperage fuse, free of charge.
