I've actually wondered why there's been no recall...and perhaps less costly remanufactured parts are soon to be available. In the meantime, if I ever do feel the need to open it up for a repair I now know what I'll be looking at.

You're quite right that it would take a pre-requisite amount of skill to attempt this kind of repair, but with care, persistence, and the right kinds of tools and materials it can be done. Since I have some of the electronics-grade solder reflow supplies already, which I acquired for the purpose of repairing pc boards (from TVs and PCs), I think I'm fairly well equipped and wouldn't hesitate to make this repair myself if it happens a second time. (I hope, however, the Volvo repair made at 75K miles was permanent.) I really wish Volvo had simply issued a recall on this item.

I can see that your customers have placed their car in good hands.
