DESCRIPTION:
Volvo has identified that the Thermal Expansion Valve (TXV) may be adjusted to an incorrect specification. This may result in a grinding or growling type noise when the A/C system is operating.

SERVICE:
The corrective action is to inspect and if necessary adjust the TXV Valve setting using the TXV tool part # 33300036. This tool must not be used on vehicles that are not eligible for this service campaign. Incorrect use of this tool may result in major damage to the A/C system of the vehicle.
