Volvo Cars Of North America has announced that they will be recalling certain models of the 2008 Volvo XC70. They stated that certain sport utility vehicles fail to conform to the requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard NO. 120, “Tire Selection and rims for motor vehicles other than passenger cars.” The wheel information label located on the rear drivers side door pillar was printed missing the wheel size (rim) information.
The purpose of this standard is to provide safe operational performance by ensuring that vehicles to which it pertains are equipped with tires of adequate size and load rating with rims of appropriate size and type designation.
Owners will be provided with the correct certification label and installation instructions. If the owner prefers, a dealer can install the label for them. The recall began on January 31, 2008. Owners may contact Volvo cars at 1-800-458-1552.
