New about a possible recall - Page 4

neon · Oct 1st, 2016, 14:00

My dealer has got back to me by email, as follows:

"As I said previously I have seen no notification of a recall and I am very much involved in anything new cars & Volvo within our business. If there was a major issue we would have first seen a delivery stop notice from the factory to check cars before being released and this is certainly not the case.

If there issue in the US, this would also only affect petrol cars not diesel.

I will as promised speak to the Service Manager Monday AM and ask if he's aware of anything or rumbles of anything imminent."

It is quite staggering how poor the information dissemination by VOLVO UK on a very serious issue is.How can my dealer be up to scratch with this recall and yours not so?

I have also just received confirmation of the UK recall from the dealer. My car is on the list and it will need to go in for servicing.

Irrelevant, confusing and misleading.

Apart from any safety or reliability issues right now, I'd guess the urgency is because Volvo are keen to nip this problem in the bud before significant damage is done to wiring looms and associated electrics. Fixing these could be extremely expensive for them and they'd probably have to do it for free even after the 3-year warranty has expired if it's shown to be a manufacturing fault, as appears to be the case.

It might also be a PR disaster.

I will see what the Service Manager comes back with when he returns Monday. If mine does turn out to be affected I would like it in asap and not wait until Nov.

If a proper notice had been put on the Official Volvo forum say then it would avoid the confusion, hearsay and rumours. Also wasting time for everyone.
