2012 Volvo S60 & 2012 Volvo XC60 recall: body & structure
โ ๏ธ What's wrong
Volvo is recalling certain model year 2012 S60 and XC60 passenger vehicles. An incorrect mixture of underbody coating and over-application CAN result in rigid, icicle-like areas hanging from vehicleยs undercarriage.
๐ฅ The risk
If this condition exists, the underbody coating may penetrate the fuels lines and cause fuel leakage, increasing the risk of a fire.
๐ง The fix
Dealers will inspect the vehicle undercarriage, and if excessive underbody coating is found in the fuel line area, it will be removed. If the inspection reveals that the fuel lines are damaged, they will be replaced. The safety recall began on april 25, 2012. Owners may contact volvo customer care center at 1-800-458-1552.
Is the fix free? Yes. Safety recall repairs are free at any authorized dealer under federal law, including parts and labor. (Vehicles more than 15 years old when the recall was announced can be excluded, but most manufacturers still fix them.)
