Following a loud "bang", the engine started making a very loud and suspicious noise. Mooers Volvo in richmond, Virginia claimed that they "could not recreate the noise" and therefore would not perform any warranty repairs. A local mechanic agreed that the engine was indeed making a very loud noise and found that the PCV vacuum tube assembly was cracked. Further investigation found that a service bulletin (#2-25-0038) had been issued for this problem, but mooers Volvo refused to make the repairs under warranty.
