Recalls: Volvo V90 Cross Country
2017-19 model year Volvo V90 Cross Country: intake manifold could melt or deform
In July 2019, recall campaign R29939 was issued for 2017-19 model year Volvo V90 Cross Country vehicles. In these vehicles, the engine valve may leak and cause the engine intake manifold to melt or deform. If the engine intake manifold were to melt or deform, the vehicle may enter ‘limp home’ which restricted engine power and speed; it also posed a fire hazard. This reduction in engine power and fire hazard increased the risk of a collision and injury. For the VINs of the recalled vehicles, please see PRA 2019/17676.
2016-19 Volvo V90 Cross Country with diesel engine: intake manifold could melt or deform
In November 2019, recall campaigns R29945 was issued for Volvo V90 Cross Country vehicles that had four-cylinder D4204T8, D4204T11 or D4204T23 diesel engines and were available for sale in Australia prior to 29 October 2019. In these vehicles, an engine valve may leak – this could cause the engine intake manifold to melt or deform. If this occurred, the engine may run abnormally (including interruption or lack of power), the engine malfunction indication light may illuminate or there may be a localised fire in the engine bay. If any of these occurred, it posed a collision or injury risk to vehicle occupants or other road users. For the VINs of the recalled vehicles, please see PRA 2019/17939.
2019-20 Volvo V90 Cross Country: AEB not working due to missing code
In April 2020, recall campaign R29998 was issued for 2019-20 Volvo V90 Cross Country vehicles that were available for sale in Australia from 22 March 2019 to 17 March 2020. Software code in the Active Safety Domain Master (ASDM) system was missing and this could result in the Automatic Emergency Brake (AEB) system not triggering the automatic brakes. If the driver failed to react to the AEB collision warning and the AEB system failed to activate the brakes, there was an increased risk of injury for vehicle occupants and other road users. To fix, the vehicle’s software was to be upgraded. The usual brake, collision warning and brake support systems for pedestrians and bicycles, however, were not affected. For the VINs of the recalled vehicles, please see PRA 2020/18264.
