Consumer Description

SOME MY16/17 XC90 OWNERS HAVE COMPLAINED ON SWEDESPEED ONLINE FORUM THAT THEIR COOLANT HOSE BROKE: HTTP://FORUMS.SWEDESPEED.COM/SHOWTHREAD.PHP?514873-ENGINE-COOLANT-PROBLEM FOR SOME CUSTOMER THE COOLANT HOSE BREAKS WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. IF THE COOLANT HOSE BREAKS, COOLANT LEAKS QUICKLY AND THE CAR WILL SHOW "STOP IMMEDIATELY" ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL, WHICH MAY RESULT IN EMERGENCY MANEUVERS THAT ARE UNSAFE TO DO ON HIGHWAYS. IF ALL COOLANT IS LOST BEFORE THE CUSTOMER HAS A CHANCE TO STOP SAFELY, ENGINE MAY OVERHEAT AND FAIL, RESULTING IN THE CAR LOSING POWER, WHICH WILL ALSO BE DANGEROUS ESPECIALLY ON HIGHWAYS. VOLVO UPDATED THE COOLANT HOSE DESIGN. I CONTACTED VOLVO CUSTOMER CARE BUT THEY REFUSED TO ISSUE A SERVICE CAMPAIGN TO PROACTIVELY INSTALL THIS CRUCIAL UPDATED PART FOR THE REST OF US. NOTE THAT THIS HAS NOT HAPPENED TO ME YET, BUT I'M HOPING THAT VOLVO COULD ISSUE A SERVICE CAMPAIGN TO PREVENT THIS FROM HAPPENING TO MORE OWNERS.
