Information for US 850 owners

Sorry, the recall was for our '01 V70XC, not the '95 850. My mistake. It was announced several months ago, but we just got the letter.

Does Volvo give loaners for these recalls?

Thanks.

I don't know -- I imagine that varies by dealer. The fuel tank fix takes less than 45 minutes (if the tank doesn't have to be replaced), so I'm certain they won't.

Some do and some don't. You have to ask when you make your appointment. Actually you should ask this before you buy a car if it is important to you. My Volvo dealer will supply a loaner if I schedule it in advance. Usually it is a new Volvo. He will take me most anywhere I ask if I haven't arranged a loaner.

Same experience here. If I pre-schedule service, the dealer will give me a car, unless it is something really quick -- like an oil change. In which case, they're happy to ferry me to where I want to be (I've never asked them to take me to downtown Chicago, which is an hour from the dealership, but they've taken me to a Borders that about 10 minutes away).

My Volvo dealer is also an Infiniti dealer, so I either get a new Volvo, or a new Infiniti.
