2003 Volvo XC90

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, deformation at high loads may cause loss of clamping force of the outer tie rod and allow the nut to loosen.  This may eventually lead to a fatigue fracture of the outer tie rod assembly.  Tie rod separation could lead to a loss of steering control which could result in a vehicle crash.  Correction: Dealers will replace outer tie rods with updated versions.

On certain vehicles the windshield wiper pivot splines may be damaged due to failure to remove snow from the windshield. This would result in a loss of wiper operation and resultant detriment to vision. Correction: Dealers will replace wiper arms and retaining nuts.

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 seat belt attachment(s) in the second and/or third row seat(s) may not have been fitted properly.  In the event of a crash, the seat occupant may not be properly restrained, increasing the risk of injury or death.  Correction:  Dealer will inspect and repair the second and/or third row seat belt attachments.
