JULY 2008 --
Volvo is recalling 1,020 MY 2008-2009
S40, V50, C30, C70 vehicles. A section of
the power steering return line hose was not
properly cured and does not meet
specifications. The power steering hoses
were manufactured in France. If the power
steering return hose fails, a sudden rupture
of the hose can occur. This can result in a
rapid drainage of the power steering fluid
in the system and a complete loss of power
assistance, increasing the risk of a crash.
Dealers will inspect and replace the
steering return line hose assembly. The
recall is expected to begin during August
2008. 08V329
MARCH 2008 -- Volvo
is recalling 1,114 MY 2007 C30, C70, S40,
and V50 passenger vehicles. A soft anodized
layer in the master cylinder may trigger
early wear on a rubber seal that can result
in internal leakage of brake fluid. If
affected, the driver may experience reduced
brake performance when applying and
maintaining force of the brake pedal. The
capacity to brake will gradually deteriorate
forcing the driver to use a higher than
expected force on the brake pedal when
compared to an intact brake system. The
deterioration can eventually result in
complete loss of the brake system
functionality increasing the risk of a
crash. Dealers will inspect the master
cylinder. The brake master cylinder and
brake fluid reservoir will be replaced and
certain brake lines cleaned. The recall is
expected to begin during April 2008. Owners
may contact Volvo at 1-800-458-1552. 08V-101

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.
