2001 Volvo V70

On certain vehicles, there is a possibility of overheating issues of batteries in the Garmin nüvi® 760 when certain batteries manufactured within a limited date code range are used in certain Garmin nüvi® 760 models with a specific printed circuit board (PCB) design.  The interaction of these factors can, in some circumstances, increase the possibility of overheating, which may lead to a fire.  Correction: Dealers will direct customers who have an affected unit to the Garmin Web site, which explains how to verify if their units are involved and includes procedures to follow for product exchange.

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 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 V70 wagon, the bolted joint that is used for attaching the bracket that is part of the installation hardware for the ISOFIX-type child restraint, may have been incorrectly tightened.  Correction:  Dealers will inspect and, if necessary, tighten the bolts to the specified torque.
