I was looking through some papers the weekend and I found one relating to the Volvo Active Service Campaign on MY96-97 850 Saloon and Estates with heated front seats. Quote;
“It has been identified that there may be a potential deterioration of the wiring to the heating elements of both front seats. The wiring requires a check to be carried out and a modified loom to be fitted.
Please contact your local dealer who will confirm if your vehicle is affected and if necessary arrange for the modification to be carried out free of charge.
The last six digits of the chassis range of affected vehicles are as follows;
850 Saloon – 267427 to 393364
850 Estate - 175991 to 340364
All UK supplied vehicles within this chassis range were fitted with heated front seats as standard.
NB: It may well be that due to the age of the vehicles, there are other faults unassociated with this Campaign that could be detected during the dealer inspection. If this is the case any repair to these that the dealer undertakes will be chargeable.”
Hopefully this will clear up any questions people may have as to whether or not their heated seat problems are covered by the recall.
