2011 VOLVO S80 Recalls — Canada & USA

The 2011 Volvo S80 has 3 recalls, all centered on engine stall risks: software issues in the engine and transmission control systems can cut engine power unexpectedly while driving, raising the risk of a crash. Two of the recalls involve software that can cause the engine to stall during normal driving, one through an overly sensitive fuel cut-off in the engine control module and another through an error in the automatic transmission control system that drops propulsion without warning. The third recall also involves a transmission software fault, where the gearbox may fail to downshift when the driver lifts off the throttle, causing engine speed to drop and the engine to stall.
