“About 6 weeks ago the check engine light went on in my Volvo. I went to an auto shop and the scan read faulty radiator anti-tamper device. I then researched the problem and found that Volvo had a recall (tj27910) the 2013 S80 was effected by this recall. I called the dealer and my car was supposedly not on the recall list even though I had the same issue. Volvo would not honor the recall and stated that I would have to have the car re-scanned and the software issue would be reset at my cost. …”
