Volvo to recall 409 sedans on faulty engine cooling fans in China
Volvo Car Corp. is recalling 409 units of S80 vehicles because of a problem with the engine cooling fan, said the State Administration of Quality Supervision and Inspection and Quarantine (AQSIQ) in Beijing on July 11.
The fan may stop working because of a software programming error in the fan controlling module. Depending on driving conditions, the customer may experience reduced air conditioning performance or a rapid increase in engine coolant temperature, said the quality supervisor.
This condition might cause cooling system malfunction and engine failure, and thus would increase the risk of accident, it said.
Dealers will replace the fan control module free of charge. The recall will start from July 13.
