1978 Volvo 265

Component

Power Train:Axle Assembly:Axle Shaft

Consequence of Defect

the rear wheel bearings on the involved vehicles, may have received an inadequate amount of lubrication. this condition would initially cause the roller bearings to develop a rumbling noise.

Corrective Action

Recall Notes

the dealer will either lubricate the bearings or replace them with new bearings and seals with lubrication at no charge to owner.

Component

Steering:Rack And Pinion:Rack

Consequence of Defect

Corrective Action

Recall Notes

1976 Volvo 265

Component

Fuel System, Gasoline:Storage:Tank Assembly:Filler Pipe And Cap

Consequence of Defect

under adverse conditions of high ambient temperatures, pressures and fuel volatility, fuel may surge when the fuel filler cap is removed in a certain manner. under these same conditions the involved vehicles may develop vapor lock.

Corrective Action

Recall Notes

the dealer will install a baffle in the fuel filler neck to prevent fuel surge and install a new pressure control valve, which will bring about a lower vent pressure. this will be done at no cost to owner.

Recall Notes

1976 Volvo 265

Component

Fuel System, Gasoline:Storage:Tank Assembly

Consequence of Defect

the involved vehicles contain a potentially defective pressure control valve in the evaporative emission control system which, through excess pressure over extended periods, could cause metal fatigue and eventually fuel vapors to be emitted into the atmosphere through hairline cracks in the fuel tank.

Corrective Action

Recall Notes

dealer will inspect the tank and make replacements, if necessary. the valve will be replaced to correct the emission and safety-related problems. certain vehicles will require installation of a filler inlet fuel trap and a feeder pump to eliminate the possibility of fuel surge and vapor lock.
