The engine oil level may rise. This situation may lead to the engine speed being maintained or possibly increased after the throttle pedal is released. In an extreme situation the engine may continue to run after it has been switched off.
A section of the gear shift mechanism may over time become loose and cause the mechanism to become jammed. If this was to occur, it might not be possible to change gear or select neutral.
It is possible that the hose connection between the coolant expansion tank and the bleed hose can work loose. If this should occur, then coolant will leak and air will enter the system. Under these conditions the “low coolant level” warning light will not function. If the vehicle is driven in this condition it will cause engine damage and in the extreme, possible failure.
It has been identified that due to internal leakage the gearbox hydraulic control module may not be able to engage or shift gears as intended.
On certain five cylinder engines, it is possible that the high pressure fuel pipes may not have been correctly installed and may leak. This should be identified by a smell of fuel from the engine bay. However, it is possible that in extreme cases an engine bay fire could occur.
Volvo quality follow-up procedures have identified an issue on a number of model year 2007 C30, S40 and V50s relating to the engine cooling fan control module. Under certain operating conditions water intrusion could occur into the control module causing a short circuit which, in very rare instances, could result in a fire in the engine compartment.
It is possible that the driver and passenger front powered seats may not be fitted with the front stop lug. The lug restricts the movement of the seats and if not fitted, it is possible to position the seats too far forward or backwards. This could increase the chances of injury should the vehicle be involved in an accident.
A software issue within the Central Electronic Module (CEM) may cause the left hand (nearside) rear light to stop functioning. This will result in the illumination of a warning light on the instrument panel.
It is possible that the right hand driveshaft may not have been manufactured to the correct specification. This can ultimately, result in the failure of the drive shaft. This will be identified to the driver by noise and the loss of drive.
It has been established that the securing process for the exhaust tail pipe sleeve may not be to specification and result in the tail pipe sleeve detaching. This could cause an issue for other road users.
The rod connecting the clutch master cylinder and the clutch pedal may break. It may not be possible to disengage the clutch. In worst cases this may happen suddenly with no warning to the driver. If this happens bring the car to a safe stop using the engine and switch off the ignition.
A number of Volvo C30,S40,V50 and C70 may experience a problem with washer fluid leaking inside the washer pump unit through the wires into the central control electronic module. This can impact on a number of different features of the vehicle but in the worst case, it may lead to a fire.
The cover on the top of the engine cover could chafe against the brake vacuum hose. If this occurs, it may lead to a vacuum leak in the brake booster system and a gradual reduction of brake booster assistance. The will lead to the brake pedal becoming harder to push than normal and increased force would be required to stop the car.
It is possible that stress cracks may occur in the offside main support member within the engine bay, which could affect the vehicle structural performance if it is involved in an accident.
It has been identified that during the engine warm-up process and under certain driving/climate conditions, for instance periods of high acceleration or high engine load immediately after a cold start, in cold climates, there is the possibility for coolant leakage or oil seepage. This can lead to the possibility, in a worst-case scenario, of smoke or a slow developing fire in the engine compartment. However, the driver will receive a warning message on the driver Information Module indicating a low coolant level.
Due to a potential manufacturing defect, the gas generator in the driver airbag module may not deploy as intended. This may reduce the affectivities of the airbag.
