A. RECALL R29936 DESCRIPTION

VolvoeBay Car USA LLC and VolvoeBay Car Canada LTD (VolvoeBay) on behalf of VolvoeBay Car Group has decided to launch Recall R29936 on model year 2016 XC90 vehicles.

VolvoeBay has identified that the coolant bleeder hose (engine side) may degrade over time and crack due to heat and humidity load.

The corrective action is to replace the engine side coolant bleeder hose.

A total of 34,006 U.S. and 2,721 Canadian vehicles are eligible for this recall.
