## What is wrong

Volvo Cars of N.A., LLC \(Volvo Cars\) is recalling certain 2016 XC90 vehicles.  Exposure to heat and humidity may cause the engine coolant bleeder hose to crack, resulting in a coolant leak.


## What can happen

If the coolant leak goes unnoticed, coolant may accumulate in the catalytic converter heat shield insulation and catch fire when the vehicle is stationary, increasing the risk of injury.


## The remedy

Volvo Cars will notify owners, and dealers will replace the engine side coolant bleeder hose, free of charge.  The recall began June 12, 2019.  Owners may contact Volvo customer service at 1\-800\-458\-1552.  Volvo's number for this recall is R29936.


## Notes

Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1\-888\-327\-4236 \(TTY 1\-800\-424\-9153\), or go to www.safercar.gov.
