Hi Night Train was launched in February 2014, so built late 2013. The first MDI worked fine until we had a bad lightning strike in September 2016, which I won't hold against Volvo as it fried almost everything electrical. However since then we have gone through five more units the last one being a "P"series one.
My spare has a serial No. 23195776 W1745, which seems to be the same number as Ariette (Mark) got so hopefully this one will last longer than single digit engine hours!
I will also take the "P"series one back to Volvo and see if they will give me another under warranty.
We also did the 3 No. B&G wind transducers, but touch wood they seem to have fixed the sensitivity of those, if only Volvo were as helpful as B&G.

5 months later the MDI box broke again while we were in Nova Scotia. Again replaced by Volvo. Until now no problems

This forum has been such a help to me. So first, thank you!
In January, our 3rd faulty MDI box was replaced under the Volvo recall (see attached).  After 50 hours, it has failed again.  I just noticed that the recall specified part #23231607, but the actual replacement part was #23195776.  That said, several others have noted the same discrepancy in their recall implementation.  Has anyone else had either of these part numbers fail, after being replaced under the recall? 
Yes, I plan to install the emergency starter switch! 
But I wondered if others were also finding that the "official replacement" MDI was continuing to fail?

As you discovered, Volvo Penta in the US is using part number 23195776 for the recall, though shipping them in a box marked with the correct part number, i.e. 23231607. 

I've had two 23195776 parts fail partially, both in the sense of the remote stop not working. The box seems to continue to work otherwise, unlike some earlier parts where the failure seemed progressive. So 23195776 seems to be an improvement but not there yet.

By the way, I suspected the stop solenoid might be faulty as that would explain this, but it still works if I apply 12v across its terminals.

For now, I simply jump down below to stop the engine manually.

Thank you Persephone!  So 23195776 has not proven to be a reliable fix....Siiiigh.
In my case, the engine doesn't start.  So I'll install a bypass switch on Tuesday, once curfew is lifted here in Dominica.
But I'm still interested in hearing from others for whom the Volvo recall & replacement didn't work out. 
I'm also contacting Volvo and will let y'all know their response.
