Volvo is recalling 7,767 2014 S60, S80, XC60, and XC70 vehicles in the U.S. over two separate issues that could drain the battery.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said the vehicles are being recalled because of an issue with the headlights and turn signals. Each recalled vehicle is equipped with keyless ignition.
"In the affected vehicles, the Central Electronic Module or CEM will not perform as intended," said NHTSA in its summary of the problem. "As a result, the front windshield wipers might run continuously when the ignition is on. Also, the turn signals, high beams and headlight switch might not work. Malfunctioning headlights and/or turn signals increase the risk of a crash."
Volvo said to the NHTSA that the cruise control in each vehicle may not work because of the issues, and that the "battery may drain due to high quiescent current."
"The amber-colored warning light in the Driver Information Module (DIM) will illuminate and there may be a message displayed e.g. 'Alarm system service required,'" said Volvo in documentation filed with the federal government. "There may also be other messages in the DIM depending on individual vehicle equipment."
Volvo has not announced when the recall will start officially.
Dealerships will be notified to upgrade the CEM software according to the NHTSA.
Owners can contact Volvo for more information at 1-800-485-1552.
