NHTSA Campaign ID number: 12V415000

Vehicle Model Year(s) Make / Model: 2013 VOLVO / S80, 2013 VOLVO /
XC70
Manufacturer: Volvo Cars of N.A., LLC
Mfr's Report Date: AUG 27, 2012

Component: TIRES:PRESSURE MONITORING AND REGULATING SYSTEMS
Potential Number of Units Affected: 300

Summary:
Volvo is recalling certain model year 2013 S80 and XC70 vehicles. A
software error within the Central Electronic Module (CEM) will result
in the "TPMS Service Required" message appearing after
approximately 15 minutes of accumulated driving over 25 mph. The error
will prevent the Tire Pressure Monitoring System from warning the
driver that a tire needs air. Thus, these vehicles fail to comply with
the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 138,
"Tire Pressure Monitoring System."

Consequence:
A malfunctioning TPMS cannot warn a driver that a tire is
underinflated. Underinflated tires can result in tire overloading and
overheating, which could lead to a blowout and possible crash.

Remedy:
Volvo will notify owners and dealers will reprogram the vehicle's
TPMS. This service will be performed free of charge. Volvo has not
provided a notification schedule. Owners may contact Volvo at
1-800-458-1552.
