DESCRIPTION:
Volvo Cars of North America has identified that in certain S80's the tire pressure information is in non-compliance with legal requirements. A vehicle must have the correct tire pressure described on the B-pillar tire pressure label and in the owner's manual. The tire pressure information printed on these labels and in the owner's manual is too low i.e 35 psi (240kpa) instead of 36 psi (250kpa) for B6304T4/2 (T6) and 36 psi (250kpa) instead of 38 psi (260kpa) for B8444S (V8). In addition to this the TPMS (Tire pressure monitoring system) software in the S80 vehicles have the incorrect trigger level i.e it reacts on 35 psi (T6) and 36 psi (V8) instead of the 36 psi (T6) 38 psi (V8).
SERVICE:
Remove the existing labels affix new labels and download a CEM Upgrade according to the attached instruction.
