Investigations have identified that the steering gear high pressure lines joint connecting to the steering gear may not be properly assembled. Should this condition occur the customer may notice oil leakage. In the worst case scenario, due to the high pressure in the system and the specific engine installation, oil may be sprayed onto hot surfaces potentially resulting in smoke formation or ignition of oil, possibly leading to engine bay fire. As the oil leakage is substantial a sudden loss of steering assistance may occur.

Volvo Car Corporation investigations have identified that the fuel Pump Electronic Module (PEM) may in certain conditions not wake up as intended which, in turn, inhibits the start of the fuel pump. If this condition would occur, it may lead to that the engine may not start, start roughly and/or run roughly at idle. The engine may also stop shortly after start-up which in some cases may cause stalling. Investigations have shown that it may in certain conditions be possible to drive up to approximately 100m before the engine stalls.
