Volvo Cars is to recall over 20,000 vehicles across Europe to check for faulty cooling fans.


The company will install a plastic cover over the fan, spokeswoman Maria Bohlin told AFP.


“There is a control module in the cooling system and because there was a manufacturing problem with this module… water might get into it and in the worse case scenario lead to short circuits,” she added.


21,380 owners of some 2007 diesel models will be asked to take their cars to dealers to have the cooling system repaired.


Affected models are I4 diesel engine versions of the C30 hatchback, S40 sedan and V50 wagon.
