Recall 02V096000: Engine Cooling Fan Replacement



DEFECT: On some passenger vehicles, the electric cooling fans could be inadequate in a hot climate. Under certain circumstances, excessive heat could be generated. Should this occur, the engine cooling fan components could overheat and cause the melting of electrical connections and adjacent components, increasing the likelihood of a fire.


REMEDY: Dealers will replace the engine cooling fan. The manufacturer has reported that owner notification began April 1, 2002. Owners who do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact Volvo at 1-800-458-1552.
