On certain Volvo 744 and 745, due to the changed freedom of movement of the engine caused by the introduction of hydraulic motor mounts in the 1988 model year, there is the possibility of excessive chafing of the insulation of the positive and negative battery cables.

On certain Volvo 740, 760 and 940, the seatbelts for the auxiliary seat are designed to be routed under a diagonal cross brace during fastening. The labeling which instructs the user in the proper routing is inadequate. As a result, the belt may be routed over the brace, and this may make it possible for the belt to be inadvertently released. Correcton: Proper instructional labels will be installed on seats. In addition, new buckle assemblies will be installed.

On certain Volvo 764, 782 and 944 equipped with an 80 litre fuel tank, if the three conditions of high ambient temperatures, overfilling of tank and insufficient torque on the sending unit lock ring existed simultaneously, seepage of fuel could occur from the top of the tank. In the presence of an ignition source, a fire could result. Correction: Dealers will inspect for signs of seepage. If no seepage is found, the sending unit lock ring will be retorqued. If seepage is found, the lock ring gasket will be replaced. All vehicles will also be fitted with an additional clamp around the lock ring.
