ENGINE
- The defect
- Volvo Bus Corporation (Volvo Bus) is recalling certain 2020 9700 buses. The driver may be able to start the bus even if the starter disabling switch in the engine compartment has been activated, such as during servicing.
- What it can cause
- An engine that can be started while being worked on increases the risk of injury to the service technician.
- What the dealer does
- Volvo Bus will notify owners, and will provide a service document describing how to connect and upload the new engine software, free of charge. The recall began November 6, 2020. Owners may contact Volvo Bus customer service at 1-800-463-7738. Volvo Bus's number for this recall is SR20-87.
- NHTSA's note
- Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.
The repair is free, whatever the age or mileage of the vehicle, and whether or not you are the original owner.
Which vehicles
A recall reaches a range of VINs inside these model years, not every car built in them. Yours may not be covered even if it is listed here, and the only way to find out is NHTSA's own VIN lookup .

How this campaign compares
At 10 vehicles this is a small campaign: 92% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published are as large or larger. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers one model year, 2020, and the defect was reported to NHTSA in 2020, at or before the oldest model year it covers — as current as a recall gets.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 5 other recalls published here, the newest being: 23V890000 (equipment adaptive/mobility), 22V222000 (engine and engine cooling), 21V717000 (exterior lighting), 21V597000 (equipment adaptive/mobility).
Check your own car
A VIN check is the only answer for a specific vehicle, and it also shows every other open recall on it, which is usually the reason it is worth doing rather than reading one campaign.
Filed by Volvo Bus Corporation with NHTSA on September 29, 2020 as campaign 20V597000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
