V60, V60CC, V70 & XC60 Recall

cumbrianmale · Nov 6th, 2015, 09:33

Potential engine failure due to crankshaft problem.

Details here

K5 Gus · Nov 6th, 2015, 11:06

Description : The crankshaft may not have been sufficiently hardened and may fail, this in turn can lead to sudden and catastrophic engine failure. The failure may be preceded by loss of power and a knocking noise.
Remedial Action : Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and replace the engine.

Ouch !! Anyone know which engine this affects ?

Edit : found my VIN number on the My Volvo site, and thankfully not affected

Checked mine too... Not affected. Phew.

This is rather worrying though, to say the least.

YV1DZA8C1G2834227 to YV1DZA8CDG2843641

presumably the registered keepers are written to

hi, is this something that we as owners are to respond to, or is it the responsibility of volvo to contact the owners

Bhowani 2 · Dec 20th, 2017, 11:20

Not mine, but I do so feel for those who are going to "get the letter"

Presumably one of the "5" has blown up somewhere, and this is the follow-up!

Merry Christmas!

Hello,

New here.

I currently own a 2012 V60 D5 Auto FWD.

Bought in 2014 from a Volvo dealer with 25.000 km and a full 2 years warranty.

In the end of 2014, with 50.000 km on the odo, a connecting rod snapped and took its way through the block, destroying the whole engine.

The incident was taken care of brilliantly, with a nice lended car during the 3 weeks wait, but clearly, the guys at volvo were a bit suspicious about how it happenned. There's even a "technical inspector" from the insurance company holding the warranty who phoned me asking if I didn't have excessive rpm...

(I told him If he had any serious qualifications, he could teach me how to do this with an auto gearbox, which took his askings to a qick end...)

In the end everything went fine, and now the car's still perfectly fine with 170.000 km, but today is the first time I read about an issue perfectly in tune with this.

At the moment it is not a recall , The recall has not been launched yet ...

I had a letter some time ago from volvo informing me of a possible recall, some time later I heard on Radio 4 that there was a recall for the plastic manifold issue. Checked on the volvo recall web site entering my VIN number and it threw up "Recall incomplete" in red text. My vehicle is a 2014 V60 D4. it didnt enlarge on which recall was incomplete though so I need to contact our local volvo dealer tomorrow (05/11/19/
