Volvo/XC90 2007-2008

MANUFACTURER: Volvo Cars of N.A. LLC.

NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 07V563000

MFR'S REPORT DATE: December 05, 2007

COMPONENT: Visibility: Defroster/Defogger System

POTENTIAL NUMBER OF UNITS AFFECTE : 37000

SUMMARY:
On certain sport utility vehicles, under certain conditions, the Climate Control module (CCM) may receive a "SHUT-DOWN SIGNAL" from the Engine Control Module (ECM) after ignition key insertion. If this condition occurs, the climate control functions will not be available (including the defroster) during that driving cycle.

CONSEQUENCE:
Inoperative defrosters under inclement weather conditions could cause impaired visibility which has the potential to result in personal injury and/or vehicle and property damage.

REMEDY:
The ECM software will be upgraded. The manufacturer has not yet provided an owner notification schedule for this campaign. Owners may contact Volvo at 1-800-458-1552.
