2008 VOLVO XC70 Recalls — Canada & USA

The 2008 Volvo XC70 has 7 recalls, the most serious involving the front seatbelts and side airbags: seatbelts may not properly restrain occupants in a crash, and curtain and side impact airbags can deploy late or not at all. The seatbelt concern involves the front restraint system failing to secure an occupant adequately during a collision. The airbag issue stems from incorrect software in the restraint system control module, meaning the side curtain and side impact airbags may not fire at the right moment to protect occupants during a side impact crash. Prior repair attempts did not fully resolve the airbag software problem, and it appears across multiple filings. On the mechanical side, the engine cooling fan can stop working due to a software error in the fan control module. This can cause the air conditioning to underperform and engine temperature to climb quickly, potentially leading to engine breakdown if left unaddressed. The remaining recalls are label-related: the wheel information sticker on the rear driver's side door pillar is missing rim size information on certain vehicles, which means owners and service technicians may not have the correct tire and wheel specs on hand.
