3 recalls across 2 model years
The Volvo WXLL has 3 recalls spanning the 1997-2001 model years, with the most serious being a 2001 engine control issue on vehicles equipped with Cummins Westport gas engines where the control module fails to detect a throttle plate failure, causing the engine to accelerate without driver input and removing speed control.
The other 2001 recall involves the electronic throttle control accelerator pedal, where a weld connecting internal pedal components can fail and allow the pedal assembly to separate, leaving the driver without a functioning accelerator. On 1997 models, the steer axle wheel bearing jam nut may not have been properly secured during assembly, which can allow the nut to back off the spindle and let the wheel and brake drum detach from the vehicle while driving.
