An official CAA Japan notice concerns Passenger cars (Volvo Volvo S60 and others) - Repair. Due to engine defects (cooling system, bleeder hose) ■Defective parts (component names) 1. Engine (cooling system) 2. Engine (bleeder hose) ■Details and causes of the structure, equipment or performance deemed noncompliant with standards 1. In the engine cooling system, inadequate coolant temperature control may cause the coolant temperature to rise rapidly if the vehicle accelerates abruptly or similar actions are taken after starting the engine at certain outside temperatures. Consequently, the coolant temperature may cause thermal stress in the cylinder head, resulting in cracks. Engine oil may leak through these cracks and come into contact with hot exhaust pipes or similar components, potentially causing a fire in the worst case. 2. In the engine cooling system, the hose connecting the expansion tank and engine (bleeder hose) has insufficient heat resistance. Engine heat under certain conditions (such as prolonged idling) may cause the hose to deteriorate and crack. Consequently, continued use in this condition may cause coolant to leak through the cracks, illuminating the warning light and potentially causing overheating in the worst case. Published 2017-07-18.
What to do now
(Recall) 外-2420 ■Corrective measures 1. On all vehicles, remove the valve mechanism inside the coolant bypass valve to change coolant temperature control. Also replace the exhaust gasket with an improved part to reduce the effects of heat on the cylinder head. 2. On all vehicles, replace the bleeder hose with an improved part.
