2011-2016 Volvo S60, V60 recalled for fluid leak:: 725 vehicles affected – UPDATED with numbers
Volvo has issued a recall for 725 of its 2011 to 2016 model-year S60 and V60 models over concerns a fluid leak could pose a fire hazard.
The Swedish manufacturer reports that the affected vehicles may experience a coolant fluid leak during engine warm-up in certain driving and climate conditions - such as hard acceleration after a cold start in a cold climate.
Volvo says a warning message will appear in the driver's display, and the fault could also potentially cause oil seepage.
If an oil leak occurs, it could cause a smell and/or smoke to come from the engine bay, and in a worst-case scenario has the potential to start a fire.
The recalled S60 sedans and V60 wagons were available for sale from 1 August 2011 through 7 November 2016.
Vehicle Identification Numbers (VINs) for the affected models are as follows:
S60 - 001139 to 369491
V60 - 001085 to 272166
Owners of the recalled vehicles will be contacted by Volvo Australia via mail and are encouraged to contact their local dealer.
