RECALL
VOLVO EMMISION WORK ANNOUNCED

Volvo Cars of NA is sending recall notices to 90,000 owners of 1983 and early 1984 Volvos for emissions repair, the Environmental Protection Agency said yesterday.

The Agency said all 1983DL and GL models with 2.3liter four cylinder fuel injected engines and certain early 1984DL and GL models with the same engines are being repaired by the automaker at no charge to customers.

Models with manual transmissions exceed the carbon monoxide and hydrocarbon exhaust emission standards; models with automatic transmissions exceed the carbon monoxide standeard, the EPA said.

The automaker will install vacuum valves in the fuel-injection and spark-control system and will modify the engine-temp-sensor circuit on the vehicles with the manual transmission.

The EPA warned that exposure to increased hydrocarbon and carbon monoxide emmissions can cause lung and heart problems, fatigue, poor vision and mental dullness.
