MAKE/MODELS: MODEL/BUILD YEARS:

Volvo/S60 2003-2004

Volvo/V70 2003-2004

MANUFACTURER: Volvo Cars of N.A. LLC.

NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 07V226000 MFR'S REPORT DATE: May 24, 2007

COMPONENT: Engine and Engine Cooling

POTENTIAL NUMBER OF UNITS AFFECTED: 38700

SUMMARY:
On certain passenger vehicles, the fuel pressure sensor located on the left end of the fuel rail may, at times, transmit incorrect signal regarding the fuel pressure to the engine control module. If the signal is outside of the pre-programmed allowable limits, a diagnostic trouble code may be set and the check engine light will come on. The soldered joints on the circuit board of the fuel pressure sensor may crack due to temperature changes and excessive vibrations.

CONSEQUENCE:
Misfire may occur during driving that, in turn, will reduce the engine torque and in the worst case scenario, the engine may stall without warning. In certain traffic situations this could cause an unsafe situation and possibly a crash.

REMEDY:
Dealers will replace the fuel pressure sensor free of charge. The manufacturer has not yet provided an owner notification schedule for this campaign. Owners may contact Volvo at 1-800-458-1552.

NOTES:
Volvo recall No. R181. Customers may contact The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY: 1-800-424-9153); or go to http://www.safercar.gov.
