2000 Volvo V70

On certain vehicles, a combination of throttle position sensor (TPS) irregularities, a dirty throttle housing, and/or inefficient software calibration, may cause a warning lamp to illuminate and the subsequent onset of "limp home" mode.  Correction: Dealers will install an electronic throttle system software upgrade in both the electronic throttle module (ETM) and the engine control module (ECM).

Certain Volvo 850, S40, V40, V50, V70, XC70 and XC90 equipped with integrated child booster cushions were incorrectly labelled during vehicle assembly.  The label indicates that the booster cushion can be used for children weighing between 15 and 36 kg (33 and 80 lb).  CMVSS 213 states that the minimum weight for use must be 18 kg (40 lb).  Should an underweight child be placed in the booster cushion and the vehicle is involved in a crash, the child may have a greater risk of injury.  Correction: Volvo Canada will send a letter to owners explaining this problem and will supply updated weight limit decal to be applied to each side window.

On certain vehicles, the Master Light Switch may cease to function.  If this occurs, the headlights will not function and a loss of visibility will occur, increasing the risk of a vehicle crash.  Correction:  Dealers will replace the Master Light Switch.

On certain vehicles, the electric cooling fan may overheat, potentially causing heat damage and, in rare instances, a fire in the engine compartment.  Correction:  Dealers will replace the cooling fan with an improved version.

On certain Volvo C70, C70 convertible, C70 coupe, S70 and V70, inadequate contact between the bulb and socket could cause the front turn signal not to function as designed. This would fail to warn an approaching driver that the vehicle is turning and could lead to a crash.  Correction:  Dealers will replace the left and right front turn signal bulb and socket.
