Recall 09V-343: 2008–2010 Volvo S80, 2010 Volvo XC60 and 1 more
VOLVO CARS OF N.A. LLC. recall for electrical system, reported to NHTSA on Sep 1, 2009, covering about 11,993 vehicles.
The problem
Volvo is recalling my 2008-2010 s80, model year 2009-2010 xc70 and model year 2010 xc60 vehicles. Under certain conditions the software within the central electronic module (Cem) may not send a signal to the fuel pump electronic module (Pem). This missing signal to the pem inhibits the start of the fuel pump. The driver may be able to start the engine in spite of the fuel pump not being activated due to residual pressure in the fuel system. In some cases, the driver may be able to drive the vehicle a short distance at idle but then the engine may stall.
The risk
If the vehicle stalls in certain conditions, a crash could occur.
The fix
Dealers will download software to the vehicles' cem free of charge. The recall began on september 30, 2009. Vehicles in dealer's inventory will be repaired prior to delivery. Owners may contact volvo at 1-800-458-1552.

Volvo recall no. R215. Owners may also contact the national highway traffic safety administration's vehicle safety hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (Tty 1-800-424-9153), or go to <a href=http://www.safercar.gov>http://www.safercar.gov</a> .
