Gas Tank and Seat Warmer Recall 850

posted by  someone claiming to be Mike in Toronto on  Wed Jan 22 05:17 CST 2003 [RELATED]

Does anybody know anything about a recall for seat warmers burning through the fabric like mine did? I thought it was just my big butt.

".......The agency last month said Volvo recalled 65,000 of its 1996 and 1997 model year 850 station wagons because "excessive compression" could cause seat heaters to catch fire. The automaker had received reports of 50 incidents and three injury claims, according to the U.S. regulator."

The same article is about gas tank leaks in 1993 to 1996 Volvo 850.
