NON COMPLIANCE RECALL INFORMATION
(November 2019)
Volvo has determined that certain model year 2017-2018 D11/D13 model engines may
be equipped with an improperly functioning SCR (Selective Catalytic Reduction) system
due to Low NOx Conversion Efficiency DTC (Diagnostic Trouble Code), which may
cause a loss of catalyst performance that violates Federal and California standards and
regulations. The root cause is that water is chemically bonding and deactivating the
catalyst during extended low temperature operation followed by high temperature
operation.
This issue is to be addressed by updating ECM software, inspecting DEF system,
running Tech Tool function “Exhaust Aftertreatment System Analysis”, replacing the
SCR System with one containing an improved hybrid catalyst, and returning the SCR
as instructed.
Follow the procedure outlined in this document.
VEHICLES AFFECTED
Certain Volvo North America vehicles manufactured between March 9th, 2017 and March 9th, 2017.
