Recall 04V051000: Rear Brake Lamp Relay Malfunction

DEFECT: On certain sport utility vehicles, the rear left and right brake light relays may not function when the brake pedal is depressed or may stay on continuously. If the brake lights fail to come on, there will be no lower brake lights to indicate to following vehicles that the vehicle is decelerating, which could result in a crash.


REMEDY: Dealers will replace the brake light relay with two relays of a modified design. The manufacturer has reported that owner notification began on Feb. 23, 2004 . Owners may contact Volvo at 1-800-458-1552.
