Just before Volvo came out w/ extended warranty for throttle body, I had mine replaced. Aug. of 2005. Do I have any recourse? Has anyone else received $ back after paying for a part which was recallled? I could use the $ for the ABS module I now need. Did I mention that I won't be buying anything Swedish for the rest of my life?

 

Yes, you may be able to get reimbursed. This link has info on it. http://www.etmsettlementdocuments.com/2007/faq.html

Here's an excerpt:

6. How do I get reimbursed for repair or replacement?
If you paid to repair or replace your ETM before June 1, 2007, you can ask for reimbursement in one of the following ways:
• If You Have Your Receipt for repairing or replacing the ETM: Mail a copy of the original receipt to Volvo at the address to follow, along with a copy of the Notice you received in the mail, or a copy of the letter advising you of the CARB settlement. If you have a copy of your original receipt, you do not need to submit a Claim Form. If you want to be reimbursed for taxes paid, you must include a completed Assignment of Taxes Form, a copy of which is included with the Notice you received in the mail. If you do not have a copy of the Tax Assignment Form, it can be printed from this website by clicking here.
• If You Do Not Have Your Receipt for repairing or replacing your ETM: Mail a copy of the Claim Form, along with one of the following three things: a copy of the claim history report from the repairing dealer, or a copy of a dated canceled check or a copy of a dated credit-card receipt/statement. The Claim Form can be printed from this website by clicking here. The Claim Form contains a statement signed under penalty of perjury that the check or credit-card charge relates to an ETM repair or replacement. If you want to be reimbursed for taxes paid, you must include a completed Assignment of Taxes Form, a copy of which is included with the Notice you received in the mail and on the Claim Form.
If you paid for towing or a rental car while your vehicle’s ETM was being repaired or replaced, you can ask for reimbursement (for a combined total of $50.00 per each ETM repair or replacement) in one of the following ways:
• If You Have Your Receipt for towing or obtaining a rental car: Mail a copy of the original receipt that clearly shows the date of rental/towing service, along with a copy of the Notice you received in the mail or a copy of the letter advising you of the CARB settlement. If you want to be reimbursed for taxes paid, you must include a completed Assignment of Taxes Form, a copy of which is included with the Notice you received in the mail. If you do not have a copy of the Tax Assignment Form, it can be printed from this website by clicking here.
• If You Do Not Have Your Receipt for towing or a rental car: Mail a copy of the claim form, along with one of the following two things: a copy of a dated cancelled check or a copy of a dated credit card receipt/statement. The Claim Form can be printed from this website by clicking here. The Claim Form contains a statement signed under penalty of perjury that the towing and/or rental car charges were incurred in connection with the repair or replacement of the ETM. If you want to be reimbursed for taxes paid, you must include a completed Assignment of Taxes Form, a copy of which is included with the Notice you received in the mail and on the Claim Form.
Send all reimbursement requests to Volvo at the following address:
If you have already been reimbursed for these expenses, you are not entitled to additional reimbursement.

 

Thanks, after I posted this thread, I e-mailed Volvo USA and they gave me same address. I hope all goes well.
