850 Heated Seats - Volvo Car Corporation bulletin

Please read this bulletin that came to us from VCC via VCUK:

Are the seats in this range any different from the earlier years? Or did somebody (or a group of people) with a car in that range start legal proceedings? AJ

Thanks Bob. Please can you remind me which specific part is faulty? ie heater elements, thermostat, thermostat wiring, etc Simon

This is why Volvo asked us to paste this over our web site, they know many of these cars no longer get serviced at Volvo dealerships, and they (Volvo) want to ensure that as many of the ones affected get checked. I am always ready to voice criticism where due, but I think Volvo are taking all possible steps to ensure safety is maintained at the highest level after establishing there is a possible fault, and asking us to help get the message out supports that. I will pass on any further info that gets passed to me on this.
