SERVICE ACTION A10241 DESCRIPTION
Volvo Car USA LLC and Volvo Car Canada LTD on behalf of Volvo Car Corporation, has decided
to launch Active Service Action A10241 on certain Model Year 2022-2023 S60, V60, S90L,
XC60 and XC90 vehicles.
Volvo Cars quality investigations have identified that the Battery Energy Control Module
(BECM) monitoring state is too sensitive and may cause the Malfunction Indication Light (MIL)
to illuminate inaccurately.
The corrective action is to perform a Total Software Upgrade.
A10241 affects 25,774 vehicles in the U.S. and 1,783 in Canada.
ATTENTION
Vehicles affected by A10241 can receive this update via Over-The-Air (OTA) in early July and
may have the latest software already installed. If the vehicle has Google built-in the software
version can be found selecting Settings > System > Software Updates. If the vehicle has
2.10 or later, then this Service Action has been satisfied and should not be performed.
Vehicles will be manually marked if performed via OTA within 2 weeks.
