In 2018, Volvo Penta issued a recall for certain engines. Quality Action Q0138 (identified by Service Bulletin 37-2-107) is an official recall issued by Volvo Penta in 2018. The focus of this campaign was on replacing MDI (Mechanical Diesel Interface) boxes prone to failure, which were installed in the D1 and D2 series diesel engines, among others.Here are the key details regarding the recall and the component: Affected engines: Primarily smaller Volvo Penta inboard engines such as the D1-13, D1-20, D1-30, as well as the D2-40, D2-55, and D2-75.The problem: The black MDI box serves as an electronic interface between the engine control unit and the control panel. Early versions frequently malfunctioned, resulting in the engine failing to start or stop, warning signals failing, or the engine stalling while underway.The solution: As part of Service Campaign Q0138, authorized Volvo Penta mechanics replaced the defective unit free of charge with a newer, more robust version of the MDI box.
