MANUFACTURER: Volvo Cars of N.A. LLC.

MFR'S REPORT DATE: January 18, 2008

NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 08V033000 N/A

NHTSA ACTION NUMBER: N/A

COMPONENT: Fuel System, Gasoline: Delivery: Fuel Pump

POTENTIAL NUMBER OF UNITS AFFECTED: 23000

SUMMARY:
On certain vehicles sold in or currently registered in the states of Connecticut, Delaware, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont, West Virginia, Wisconsin, and The District of Columbia, reoccurring, long-term exposure to certain environmental conditions such as salty-wet conditions, it is possible for the Pump Electronic Module (PEM) to become corroded internally. This can cause a faulty signal to the fuel pump, resulting in low or no fuel pressure to the engine.

CONSEQUENCE:
If this occurs, the check engine light may illuminate. In some cases, the vehicle may fail to start or may stall, increasing the risk of a crash.

REMEDY:
Dealers will replace the PEM and install it in a new location to prevent corrosion. The manufacturer has not yet provided an owner notification schedule for this campaign. Owners may contact Volvo at 1-800-458-1552.
