CERTAIN PASSENGER CARS FAIL TO COMPLY WITH THE REQUIREMENTS OF FEDERAL MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY STANDARD NO. 225, "CHILD RESTRAINT ANCHORAGE SYSTEMS." THE SECOND ISOFIX GUIDE WAS NOT INSTALLED IN THESE VEHICLES AND, IN CERTAIN CASES, THE OWNER'S MANUAL ISOFIX INFORMATION IS INCORRECT.
Risk if Unfixed
THIS DOES NOT MEET THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE STANDARD.
Free Fix
OWNERS WILL RECEIVE A LETTER/PACKAGE CONSISTING OF THE SECOND ISOFIX GUIDE WITH INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS, AND IN CERTAIN CASES, THE CORRECTED OWNER'S MANUAL MAY BE PROVIDED. IF THE OWNER WANTS TO TAKE THEIR VEHICLE TO A VOLVO DEALER FOR INSTALLATION OF THE GUIDE, IT WILL BE PERFORMED AT NO CHARGE TO THE OWNER. OWNER NOTIFICATION BEGAN ON DECEMBER 19, 2003. OWNERS SHOULD CONTACT VOLVO AT 1-800-458-1552.
Your vehicle's air conditioner system has a potential problem with a small electronic component that may not last as long as it should.
Risk if Unfixed
If this component fails, your car's heater fan might stop working, and your defroster might not work properly, which could be a problem on cold days.
Free Fix
Volvo will replace the faulty part for free by installing a new adapter with a longer-lasting diode at an authorized dealer. You should contact Volvo at 1-800-458-1552 if you don't get this done within a reasonable time.
