NOTE:
This document supersedes the previous version dated October 5, 2010. Changes to this document are:

- Chassis numbers for 156 (XC60) were incorrectly listed as 135000-141519. This has been corrected in the header.

- Added statement in regards to cars being manually marked in QW90

Volvo Cars of North America LLC (Volvo) has decided to conduct a voluntary safety recall on certain model year 2010 - 2011 S80, V70, XC70 and certain 2011 XC60 vehicles. Volvo has identified that there may be an intermittent fault in the clockspring wiring connector for the Supplemental Restraint System (SRS). If this condition occurs the SRS lamp will be permanently lit and the message "AIRBAG SYSTEM SERVICE REQUIRED" will be displayed in the Drivers Information Module (DIM).

If the condition occurs during driving and if the driver ignores the warning and an accident occurs where the deployment of the driver's airbag is required the airbag may not deploy as intended or not deploy at all. This poses an unreasonable risk to motor vehicle safety.

The corrective action is to install a metal shim in the clockspring wiring connector.

Cars have been manually marked in QW90 with a chassis number list. There might be cars within the limitations above which are not affected by this action.

SERVICE

Install a metal shim P/N 31324709 on the clockspring as per the instructions in the attachment.
