An official CAA Japan notice concerns Passenger car (Volvo Volvo XC90) - Repair. Due to a defect in the air conditioning system (drain hose). ■ Defective component (part name): Air conditioning system (drain hose). ■ Condition and cause of the structure, equipment or performance deemed noncompliant with standards: Improper installation of the drain hose on the vehicle body resulted in interior trim being trapped in the drain hose connector on some vehicles.
