Vehicle Emission
Control Information
Label

Volvo Cars of North America, Inc., and Volvo Canada Ltd., have determined that the Vehicle Emission Control Information Label on 1994 model year 85O Turbo vehicles has an error. This label, located in the engine compartment on the right side of the suspension housing, should read OBD 1 CERTIFIED. This is to avoid technician confusion during the I/M testing procedure.

Approximately 14,622 vehicles in the United States and 1,692 in Canada are affected.

The corrected labels must be installed on all affected vehicles (see owner's letter and instructions). Owners of affected vehicles will be contacted by letter directly, and supplied with a replacement label and installation instructions. They will be asked to install the new labels themselves, or in some instances, they may request the retailers to install the labels. If replaced by retailer, this is a courtesy to the customer and no claim is to be submitted!
