Mines an August 96 build 1997 model year 855R..so I should be getting a recall notice.

Volvo Cars of North America, Inc.
Models: Volvo 854 Years: 1996-1997
Volvo 855 Years: 1996-1997
Number Potentially Involved: 65,000
Dates of Manufacture: June 1995 - December 1996
Defect: On certain sedans and station wagons equipped with seat heaters, it is possible that excessive compression of the seat cushion could cause damage to the electrical wiring of the seat heater. This could result in a short circuit that could cause a fire.
Remedy: Dealers will disconnect the existing wires and install a new electronic thermostat and cable harness. The manufacturer has reported that owner notification is expected to begin during February 2003. Owners should contact Volvo at 1-800-458-1552.
