On certain Volvo 850 turbo, in conditions of below freezing temperatures and high humidity, ice crystals may form at the throttle in the engine intake system. This could prevent the throttle from returning to idle when the accelerator pedal is released. Correction: Throttle body, throttle cable, charge air cooler piping and crankcase ventilation hoses will be replaced on affected vehicles.
The wording above is the department's own, as it stood in the monthly file this site last read. Vehicle counts are the sum of the counts published for each make and model the recall covers. To act on a recall, use the official notice: Transport Canada recall 1994147.
