Recall 02V314000: Seat Heater Wiring Modification

DEFECT: On certain sedans and station wagons equipped with seat heaters, it is possible that excessive compression of the seat cushion could cause damage to the electrical wiring of the seat heater. This could result in a short circuit that could cause a fire.


REMEDY: Dealers will disconnect the existing wires and install a new electronic thermostat and cable harness. The manufacturer has reported that owner notification is expected to begin during February 2003. Owners should contact Volvo at 1-800-458-1552.
