1998 Volvo C70

The 1998 Volvo C70 has 6 recalls, the most serious being a passenger-side frontal airbag that can deploy without a crash due to sensitivity to electrostatic discharge, posing a direct injury risk to the front passenger.

The remaining recalls center on lighting. The headlight switch can degrade over time and become unreliable, producing intermittent headlight output or no headlights at all, leaving the driver without visibility at night or in poor conditions. Prior repair attempts did not fully resolve this issue, and multiple filings address the same underlying switch failure. Separately from the headlight switch, the front turn signal bulb can lose contact with its socket, causing the turn signal to stop working and leaving other drivers with no warning that the vehicle is changing direction or turning. Together, these lighting defects cover two distinct failure points: the switch that controls whether headlights come on at all, and the bulb connection that determines whether the turn signal flashes.
