Volvo to Recall Faulty S80 D5 Sedans

[alin89 9]

Some 1,247 new Volvo S80 D5 sedans with diesel engines, imported and distributed by Premier Automotive Group Korea, will be recalled due to manufacturing defects, the Ministry of Land, Transport, and Maritime Affairs said Wednesday.

The recall came as defects were found in the air-conditioners, which have difficulty letting out water, affecting the cars¡¯ electric systems. This can lead to overheating that produces smoke and a burning smell, even causing fires in the worst cases.

Subject to the recall are the 2007, 2008, and 2009 Volvo S80 D5 models produced and imported to the local market between Aug. 31, 2006 and Aug. 14 of last year.
