The engine cooling fan in your vehicle is like a big, spinning blade that helps keep your engine from overheating. The fan's control module, which tells it when to turn on and off, has a software glitch that could cause it to stop working properly. If the fan stops working, your engine could overheat, causing serious damage. In extreme cases, this could lead to engine failure, which would leave you stranded and without power. You might not even have time to react to the warning lights or messages on your dashboard, increasing the risk of a crash. Your Volvo dealer will replace the faulty fan control module with a new one, free of charge. You should schedule the repair after checking repair availability with your dealer and have your vehicle checked. This timing describes the original 2009 filing; contact your dealer now to confirm the free repair is available.

The Central Electronic Module (CEM) is like the brain of your car's computer. It controls many systems, including the fuel pump. In some 2008-2010 Volvo S80, XC70, and XC60 models, the CEM software might not send the right signal to the fuel pump, which could prevent it from working properly. If the fuel pump isn't working, your engine might stall, especially when you're driving slowly. If that happens, you might lose control of your vehicle, and a crash could occur. Volvo will update the CEM software for free. Your dealer will download the new software into your vehicle's computer, and you shouldn't have to pay a thing.
