Volvo recalls fifty-six thousand cars due to dangerous material faults
Volvo Cars recently announced its decision to recall 56,000 cars because of two issues that could cause severe consequences and car accidents. Spokeswoman for Volvo Cars, Maria Bohlin confirmed that 38,000 diesel car 2006 models of S60, V 70, XC 70 and XC 90 have been linked to a material fault in the engine that could cause it to catch fire. Another recall involving 18,000 of the newer V 70 and XC70 models relates to a side air bag weakness. She goes on to explain that the fuel injector bolts, located on top of the motor cylinder are faulty and can potentially cause a diesel fuel leak into the motor, possibly causing an engine fire. It was not made immediately clear how many fire incidents there have been. Bohlin said with the air bag issues, “there’s a risk they don’t launch fast enough.” The faulty cars have been sold mainly in the U.S. Britain and Sweden.
