JANUARY 2008 -- Volvo is
recalling 1,900 MY 2008 V70 and XC70
vehicles equipped with rear integrated
booster seats for failing to comply with the
labeling requirements of Federal Motor
Vehicle Safety Standard No. 213, "Child
Restraint Systems." Labels on the affected
vehicles are missing warning information
indicating that 'death or serious injury can
occur' if the manufacturer's instructions
are not followed when using child restraint
systems. This standard specifies
requirements for child restraint systems
used in motor vehicles and aircraft for the
purpose of reducing the number of children
killed or injured in motor vehicle crashes
and in aircraft. Dealers will install a new
label with the correct warning information.
The manufacturer has not yet provided an
owner notification schedule for this
campaign. 08V-032

NEWS:
Volvo recalls 18,000 vehicles worldwide due
to faulty airbags
CNN Money -
Nov. 22, 2007 -- Ford Motor Co unit Volvo
Cars said it has recalled 18,000 vehicles
worldwide, including 4,980 in Sweden,
because of problems with their airbags.
Volvo Cars spokeswoman Maria Bohlin told
Agence France-Presse that there was a
problem with the software in the lateral
systems of the airbags. The company had
discovered that in the event of a collision
with a small object, such as a fencepost,
the airbags are not activated as quickly as
they should be, Bohlin said.
The models affected are the 2008 versions of
the V70 and the XC70.
Outside
Sweden, the main countries affected by the
recall are the UK, the US, Germany and
Italy.

NEWS:
Volvo recalls 360,000 cars for speed control
bugDETROIT, Nov 24
(Reuters) - Volvo, a unit of Ford Motor Co.
is recalling about 360,000 cars because of a
problem with vehicle speed controls that can
cause engines to lose power without warning,
Volvo said on Friday.
Volvo said a defect in the
electronic throttle module in cars built
between 1999 and 2002 could cause the
vehicle to shift into a "limp home" mode in
which the maximum speed is about 15 miles
per hour.
The National Highway
Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA)
ordered the Volvo recall.
The recall applies to
Volvo C70 and V70 models built between 1999
and 2002, S60 models built between 2001 and
2002, and S70 and V70X models built between
1999 and 2000.
