An official CAA Japan notice concerns Passenger cars "VOLVO (Volvo) S60, V70, XC70, V60" (2015 model year) - Repair. Due to a defect in the starting system (starter motor fuse). ■Defective component (part name): Starting system (starter motor fuse). ■Condition and cause of the structure, equipment or performance deemed noncompliant with standards: Due to an incorrect electrical circuit fuse specification at the design stage, some starter motors are fitted with a fuse of insufficient capacity. When the engine is started by the idle-stop system, it starts with the transmission gears engaged, placing a greater load on the starter motor than during normal starting. The resulting higher current may blow the fuse and prevent the engine from starting. Published 2015-11-05.
What to do now
■Recall notification number: 外-2252 ■Remedial measures: On all vehicles, replace the fuse with an improved part.
