On certain passenger vehicles, a combination of throttle positioning sensor irregularities, a dirty throttle housing, and/or inefficient software calibration may cause a warning lamp to light and the subsequent onset of limp home modes. This resulted in a high number of vehicles going into the limp home mode without need. Dealers will install the current software upgrade onto the involved vehicles. The manufacturer has not yet provided an owner notification schedule for this recall. Owners may contact Volvo at 1-800-458-1552.

Summary:
|
European design with a drop-top option.
By Sue Mead, NewCarTestDrive.com
Volvo has once again returned to the open-top car market after a long hiatus. Its first car, built in 1927, was a convertible.While Volvo has maintained its reputation for safety, it is clearly abandoning its traditionally stodgy, boxy look in favor of a fresher image in an effort to attract new buyers. More than any other model in its lineup, the sporty and free-spirited C70 Convertible represents the winds of change blowing through the company. |
|
Overview:
|
Volvo's C70 Coupe and C70 Convertible have sexy enough curves to make you forget that you're driving a car built by a company best known for crashing its vehicles into walls. Most people know that Volvo spends a lot of time and money building safe vehicles. What many people don't know is that models like the C70 represent just how cool Volvos have become. How cool? The C70 models are packed full of high-horsepower engines, beautifully crafted interiors, and a driving experience that we find very rewarding. Plus, the C70 is available in a convertible body style. Now you can embrace all of Volvo's goodness with the wind blowing in your hair. Add to the fun of drop-top driving with the C70's taut suspensions and crisp steering and you've got a very pleasant combination, indeed.
