Volvo Recalling 65,000 V70 & XC70 Cars in Europe

Approximately 65,000 2008 Model Year Volvo V70 and XC70 models will be recalled due to a software problem that delays that triggering of the side-impact air-bags. The recall affects models primarily sold in Europe and does not apply to owners in the U.S. and Canada.

"We will fine-tune the software that triggers the release of the inflatable curtain," said Volvo Cars spokeswoman Maria Bohlin. "Now we will send letters to all the owners of the affected cars and tell them to take the car to a mechanic to get this upgrade."
