2016 VOLVO XC90Transport Canada Recall #2019188
The official notice
Defect
On certain vehicles, the coolant bleeder hose could crack over time. This could allow coolant to leak on to the exhaust system. This could also cause a build-up of coolant in the insulation for the catalytic converter. Note: This condition could cause a low coolant level warning or a high temperature warning to display on the dash.
Safety Risk
Coolant that contacts a hot exhaust system or that builds up over time in insulation could create a fire risk for a vehicle that is stopped or parked.
Remedy
Volvo will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your vehicle to a dealer to replace the coolant bleeder hose with an improved one.
