Volvo recalls 59,000 cars for software errors – Auto Motor & Sport

Many Volvo owners have the victim of a dangerous failure that allows the engine and the electrical system is switched off while the car is running. If it happens in the middle of an intersection or on a winding road may end up really bad. The car will restart by itself directly. But in the meantime miss the car servo effect of the brakes and steering.

“It can be experienced as unpleasant, but we have not had any accidents reported,” says Stefan Elfström, spokesperson of Volvo Cars, said.

Now recall the Volvo a total of 59,000 vehicles – including 24,000 in Sweden – to correct the error, which is software-related. Even a hundred police cars must be returned to the workshop.

There are Volvo models in 60- and 70-series of five-cylinder diesel engine of model year 2016 covered, then the S60, V60, XC60, V70 and XC70. It is unclear whether the S80 also covered.
