Rep Power: 3  |  Volvo recalling 360,000 cars to fix a problem with vehicle speed controls Ford owned automaker Volvo has announced that they are now recalling as many as 360,000 cars to fix an issue with the vehicle’s speed control system. The company said that this fault could cause engines to lose power without warning. The problem lies in vehicles built between 1999 and 2002. The recall has been ordered by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). This is applicable on 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. Volvo representative Christer Gustafsson said in a statement that car owners bringing their cars to dealerships would have new software reinstalled for the throttle control unit. In other news, DaimlerChrysler’s Chrysler Group is recalling about 128,000 Pacifica sport utility vehicles. These vehicles have a problem with the software governing the fuel pump and power train control. |
