VOLVO CAR announced a problem with the S80, V70, XC70, XC60. affecting a total of 4,440 vehicles.
It is possible that the engine oil level may rise above its maximum level due to overfilling and/or dilution by fuel. This may result in the engine speed being maintained or possibly increased after the throttle pedal has been released. In extreme cases, it is possible that the engine may continue to run after it has been switched off.
VOLVO CAR intend to recall all affected vehicles and carry out an Engine Control Module software upgrade and adjust the engine oil. The new ECM upgrade will improve adaption of different blends of fuel and include a dash text warning message if the oil level reaches too high a level.
If you think that your vehicle may be affected by this recall you should contact your nearest VOLVO CAR dealer who will be able to confirm whether or not your car is safe and arrange its repair if necessary.
