Update: NEW GROMMET AND PLUG PART NUMBERS REPLACE EXISTING DRAIN
HOSES
Volvo Car USA LLC and Volvo Car Canada LTD (Volvo) on behalf of Volvo Car Group has decided to
launch Recall R89707 on model year 2016 & 2017 XC90 & S90 vehicles.
Condensation water, transferred through the air conditioning drain hose, may leak into the passenger
compartment due to incorrect installation during vehicle assembly. If this condition should occur, it may
result in moisture inside the passenger compartment, which could lead to air conditioning functionality
issues.
If the leakage has not been detected over a period of time, this condition could affect SRS systems (airbag), engine management systems etc. In such a case, the driver may experience various warning messages displayed in the Driver Information Module (DIM) identifying that a fault may be present and also
providing guidance on how to proceed. Volvo therefore considers this a potential safety risk over time.
The corrective action is to inspect the air conditioning drain hose to ensure correct installation per the
attached Tech Journal 31955, and if necessary replace the drain hose.
Should there be water present beneath the carpet, the wire harness should be inspected. If the wiring is
wet or corroded repair per the attached instruction.

Produced in the USA and available as an electronic document. Hard copy documents are printed in USA on recycled paper containing
a minimum of 50% wastepaper and 10% post-consumer waste.
