Which? response to Volvo recall

Natalie Hitchins, Which? Head of Home Products and Services, said:

“Volvo seems to have moved quickly to release details about this issue, but thousands of car owners will be concerned to hear that there is a risk of fire with their vehicle – and currently no fix.

“No one should be put at unnecessary risk – whether they own an affected car or are planning to buy one – so Volvo must urgently clarify whether cars with potentially dangerous engines are still being sold.”

Notes

• Latest Volvo safety alert affects 70,000 cars – and there’s no fix yet.

• In January, Volvo recalled 30,000 UK cars due to fuel line leaks.
