What This Recall Means

Component

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION:CONTROL MODULE (TCM/PCM/TECM)

What Happened
The transmission control module in your S80 is like the brain of your automatic transmission, controlling when your gears shift. In some 2011-2013 models, a software glitch could cause it to fail.
Risk if Unfixed
If this happens while you're driving, your engine RPMs could drop, and your engine might stall. This could make it hard to control your vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.

How to Get This Fixed

Free Fix
Your Volvo dealer will update the transmission control module's software at no cost to you. This will fix the problem and ensure your transmission shifts smoothly and safely.

Affected Vehicles

2013 VOLVO S80
