RECALL CAMPAIGN 89 DESCRIPTION
Volvo Cars of North America, Inc. and Volvo Canada ltd. have announced a Recall Campaign affecting certain model year 1998 and early model year
1999 Volvo V70 wagons. Specifically, this recall applies only to those V7Os which have had the optional Child Auxiliary Seat (third seat) installed.
Approximately 10,000 vehicles in the 115 and 691 vehicles in Canada are affected.
Due to production variability, the tip of the tailpipe in some of these vehicles may protrude beyond the contour of the rear bumper cover. If the vehicle in
question is equipped with a Child Auxiliary Seat (third seat), passengers may come in contact with the tailpipe while exiting or entering the vehicle
through the cargo area. If the tailpipe is hot this could result in injury. The tailpipe will be inspected on all affected vehicles. Some vehicles may require
an adjustment to the tailpipe position.
Owners of all potentially affected vehicles will by notified by mail during the week of November 16, 1998.
